Day Fifteen: "Boo!"

Two-year-old Nya waddles into the living room in her ghost costume. She giggles to herself when she spots her four-year-old brother near the door, trying to reach the bowl of candy that is on the counter. Sneaking up behind him, she stretches her arms out.

"Boo!"

Kai jumps violently and whips his head around to his now giggling sister. His dark eyes narrow. He darts to her side and tickles her, causing her to squeal with laughter and fall to the floor.

"N-No Bubba," Nya chokes out through her laughter as he continues to tickle her.

He stops a minute later, kneeling on the floor, a victorious smile on his face.

"No fun," Nya pouts, crossing her arms over her chest.

Kai glances up the stairs before turning to his little sister.

"Should we scare mummy and daddy?"

A bright smile lights up on Nya's face and she darts up the stairs.

Hiding behind the cabinet in the hallway, she waits for her parents to walk past.

Just after they walk past her, Nya jumps up.

"Boo!"

Ray and Maya jump and turn to their daughter who's giggling loudly next to the cabinet. Maya walks over and picks her up, earning a gasp of surprise from the toddler. Nya wiggles slightly. Maya chuckles and plants a kiss on her head.

"You scared us Waterlily," Maya smiles.

"YAY!" Nya yells, throwing her hands in the air.

Her parents chuckle fondly.

"Bubba twried to gwet the sweeties," Nya says, looking at Ray.

"Ny-Ny!" Kai yells sulkily from downstairs, upset that Nya told on him.

I'm out of isolation now! I'm feeling loads better and I'm so thankful no one else in my household caught it.
