“I know,” interrupted Austin. “In a clear, calm manner.”

“And it paid off. Houston, I know you wanted to go straight home, but how about if we stop for ice cream first?”

“Ice cream? In the middle of the day?”

“As a reward for the lovely way you both interacted with Mr. Carbunkle.”

The trip to Fester’s for ice cream was as successful as the trip to Heel to Toe. When Mr. Fester accidentally handed Houston’s cone to Austin, and Austin began to shriek, “THAT ONE HAS CHOCO—” Houston simply reached for it and said, “Thank you. The other cone is my sister’s.” Then he whispered to Austin, “The adults respond better if you don’t panic. Just go with it.”

The only glitch in the Forthrights’ Whiny-Whiners Cure came when Mr. Forthright, unaware of the events of the day, poked his head into the house that evening. Hearing no whining, he called out timidly, “Hello?”

“Hi, Dad!” Austin and Houston flew at him, wearing their new sneakers.

“We went to the shoe store today!” exclaimed Houston.

“I got sparkly sneakers,” said Austin. “Look. They’re purple. Just like Missy Piggle-Wiggle’s dress.”

“What?”

“And then we got ice cream for a treat,” added Houston.

“Mr. Fester gave me the wrong cone,” said Austin, “but Houston and I traded, so it was okay.”

Mr. Forthright squeezed his eyes shut, waiting for the whining to begin. When it didn’t, he slid all the way down onto the kitchen floor in a faint and had to be revived with smelling salts. Even so, his wife phoned Missy that night to thank her.
