Ethel pointed to herself, her eyes widened slightly with shock. Her? Did he mean her? What she wanted to do?
"Well, have you eaten breakfast yet?” Ethel asked slowly, eyeing Jaime suspiciously. -
"Stop putting the focus on me so much," Jaime said. He took a step closer to her. "Otherwise I might do something that you won't like."
-
A bold color of red ran across Ethel's cheeks as she was stunned into silence, the only since she could utter out being a high-pitched squeak.
"Y-You… Pardon?” Ethel couldn’t find it in herself to scold Jaime since she wasn’t able to find any words to say. -
"What do you want to do?" Jaime asked again, looking at her in the eyes.
-
"I… well, I just said! I want you to go eat some breakfast!” Ethel stammered, her eyes darting to every place where Jaime wouldn’t come into her line of vision.
-
"Stop dragging me into it," he said. "Say what you want to do. Maybe I'll join you."
-
"But I’ve already eaten breakfast!”
-
"(June what are you doing lol)
"I mean what sort of activity," he said. "Do you want to play twister, watch a movie, go to the park, what do you want to do?" -
(Idk I’m asking myself that as well 💀)
"Twister?” Ethel asked, confused. “What's that?” -
Jaime smiled. "Twister it is." He stepped away from Ethel's flustered form and went over to the basement door. After opening it he walked down to the basements then looked on the shelf where all the games would be. They had all been gifts. Not one of them had been used. The only reason Jaime knew how to play twister was from other kids birthday parties when he was seven. Pulling the game out he made his way back upstairs.
-
Ethel peered at him through eyes that had been narrowed in suspicion. She walked over to him and looked down, adjusting her glasses before inspecting the colorful box he had brought out from the basement. “What is this?”
-
I'm surprised you've never played it," he said. "What kind of games would your family play with each other?" He tore off the plastic wrapping and opened the box, revealing a spinner and a folded polkadotted tarp.
-
Ethel's gaze turned cold as she thought back to her childhood memories. She couldn’t find anything that had to do with getting her neatly ironed dress covered in mud, so Tag and Hide and Seek were out of the question. Boardgames were highly looked down upon. Games in and of itself were frowned at as well.
“Well,” Ethel began slowly, her voice wavering a bit. “We never played games that often in our household.” -
Jacob looked at her. Maybe they weren't so different. They had simply acted differently in similar situations.
"Help me spread this out," he said, handing Ethel a corner of the tarp. As they spread out the game, he explained the rules.
"You saw the spinner in the box. If it's spun to say, right hand green, you have to put your right hand on one of the green dots. Then if you got right foot yellow, you'd have to put your left foot on a yellow dot. But you cannot lift your hand off the green dot until the spinner tells you to change where your right hand is. First one to fall over loses." -
Ethel raised one of her eyebrows as she stared at the mat, baffled at the idea of having to scrunch her body into unsettling positions.
“Will it ruin my dress?” She inquired.
