As soon as I walked into my house, Ally and Kelsey came running up to me, each of them grabbing one of my legs. "Daddy!" They both squealed.

Mom was reading with a cup of tea in the living room. "I'm glad you're home, I need to get out of here and get to my hair appointment."

She set down her mug and stood up, hugging the little ones goodbye. Before she left, she hugged me, too. "How do you like the nanny I hired you?" She winked.

I hated it when she winked. "She's fine," I said, ignoring her innuendo.

"Okay, good. I'm just asking." She headed out the door. "Don't scare her away, I love having all this free time."

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Ma." I called after her, waving. "I'll make sure I don't do anything scary."

I gritted my teeth, hoping that I was right. I went back inside to find that the girls were still wired.

Kelsey ran upstairs then came back down with as many dolls as she could carry in her arms.

"What are you doing with all those?" I asked slowly.

"I'm bringing them down here so that when Isla comes we can play with them and braid their hair while watching a movie. It's our thing." Kelsey said flippantly, as if I wasn't nearly cool enough to understand these things. She was growing up so quickly and I was constantly being reminded of it. It was scary to think that she'd be a teen before I knew it.

"Your thing?" I asked, folding my arms. "Well, put the dolls back into your room because Isla isn't coming today. It's Friday. You're stuck with your old Dad all weekend."

"Why isn't Isla coming?" Ally demanded. "I want Isla. Isla and Daddy both!" Ally started a chant which was her new favorite thing to do. "Isla and Daddy! Isla and Daddy!" Kelsey decided she wasn't too old to join in, and so she started it too. I watched them parade around the living room with the dolls and I couldn't help but laugh. They were absurd. I wanted Isla to be here too and I considered joining in their shenanigans until I realized I would lose all control over them if I did that.

"Okay, that's enough," I grabbed Ally and tickled her. "Isla will be back on Monday. We can do something fun until then, can't we?"

"Yes!" Kelsey yelled. "But not play dolls. You don't know how to do that right, Daddy? Only Isla knows how."

"Well, maybe she can teach me one day then," I said.

"I doubt it," Kelsey replied, gathering the dolls again and taking them back upstairs. "Come on Ally, help me."

Ally sat down on the floor and began rolling around as if she were making snow angels instead. My children were insane, but I loved them.

By the time I put them to bed, they had only mentioned Isla about a hundred more times, and I had only thought of her about a thousand more times. I hoped that she would contact me, but I knew it was silly to hope for that.
