“Damn it, the butter is bad,” Abby said, slamming the refrigerator door closed and leaning her arm against it. “Jane and I are going to run to the grocery store to get some. We’ll be back shortly.”

My mother pulled her brows together as she walked over and pushed Abby out of the way. She opened the door and pulled out the butter, lowering her glasses to her eyes as she read the label.

“It says best by today. It’s fine.”

“I’m not willing to trust it,” Abby replied with her hands on her hips. “I’m not going to be responsible for everyone getting sick on Easter from mashed potatoes made with expired butter.”

“It’ll be fine,” my mother argued. “No one has ever gotten sick from bad butter.”

“Ha!” Abby snorted. “Jane has to deal with sick kids all the time. Ask her how many come in from butter toxification.”

I wrinkled my brow and gave her my best what the fuck are you talking about look while my mom’s head was turned the other way. She pinned me with her own that said just go with it.

“I highly doubt that,” Mother continued.

“It’s true,” I lied. “You wouldn’t believe the number of sick kids I see from butter toxification. It’s not something you want to risk with Penny being as young as she is.”

My mom folded her arms over her chest and looked at both of us as if we’d lost our damn minds—which we had.

“Fine. Go to the store but make it quick. This dinner isn’t going to make itself.”

Sure it is because you don’t ever step back and actually let anyone do anything. You just bark orders at them until they either give up and quit or they do it your way.

“I’ll be back soon, be good.” I patted Mikey on his head and smiled at him and Sally.

Once we were outside, I waited by the passenger door while Abby fumbled with the key fob to unlock the truck. We climbed inside and rode in silence to the grocery store.

I grabbed a handheld basket and headed straight to the aisle we needed, not wanting to be here a second longer than we had to. Abby rushed off to grab a package of diapers and promised to meet me in a few minutes. I was so focused on studying each of the tests that I hadn’t heard anyone walk up beside me.

“Get the three-pack. You’re going to want to make sure,” Abby said, reaching over and grabbing two boxes. She dropped one in my basket and one in hers. “Here, get this set too. I like to get at least two or three different brands, just to be sure.”

She added a few more packages to my basket.

“Did you need anything else?” she asked, totally calm as if it were every day that we stocked up on pregnancy tests together.

“I don’t think so.”

“Alright, well, I have to grab some butter, so I’ll get that and meet you at the register.”

I nodded and turned the opposite way before deciding to grab some chocolate.
