Have any of you ever watched the show Psych?
If you have, you know the dad of the main character? He's basically how Sigrun would be as a parent sooo that's pretty much what "inspired' me to write this:
SIGRUN AS A PARENT AU (P.S. her kids are Tuuri, Reynir, Emil and Lalli, but they are all 7 and under.)
Sigrun is sitting on the porch, reading a magazine. It's four fifteen. About time her kids got home from school, but they aren't home yet. She wonders what's taking them so long.
"Mommy! Momooommoommmyyy!" she hears someone yell. It sounds like her son Reynir.
"What is it Rey?" She lazily shouts back. Reynir comes bursting through their front gate.
"Emilgotinafightandnowhe'shurtandIcan'tfindTuuriorLalli" he says.
"Woah woah woah kid." Sigrun says. "All I heard was 'emijihutfightghpffh". You've gotta slow down there buddy kay?"
Reynir takes a deep breath and repeats what he said earlier, this time slower.
"Wait,
Emil got in a fight? Let me guess-He lost didn't he." Sigrun says, still not completely sure the story's true, as six year old boys tend to relay stories somewhat...mixed up.
Reynir hesitates, then doesn't reply as he suddenly grabs his mom's shirt and starts to direct her to the fight scene.
When they arrive at the supposed fight scene, all that's there is a sobbing Emil curled up on the ground.
"What happened Emil?" asks Sigrun, trying very hard to be sympathetic.
Emil doesn't answer.
"TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT HAPPENED YOUNG MAN."
Emil sits up. "S-somebody f-from school punched m-me...and it h-hurt."
"Well who punched you?"
"Hanna...."
Sigrun proceeds to facepalm.
"Whatever. Let's go find your siblings."
After having searched the whole town, weary Sigrun and two of her kids return home.
"I can't believe we haven't found them! We've been looking all day!" a frustrated Sigrun states.
"Moomomomommmmmyyy I'm huuunngggrrrryyyy!" whines Reynir.
"Meeee tooooooo!" Emil adds.
Sigrun orders the boys to go to bed after a quick snack. They reluctantly obey.
"AAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sigrun suddenly yells, as she feels a something drop down on her. It turns out to be Emil's (fraternal) twin, Lalli.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING UP IN A TREE! WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING ALL NIGHT FOR YOU AND YOU'RE JUST RIGHT AT HOME? IN A TREE?"
Lalli doesn't reply and his eyes grow wide.
"GO TO BED THIS INSTANT!"
Lalli scurries off on all fours to his room.
"I swear something's wrong with that kid." Sigrun mumbles.
About to go to bed herself, Sigrun feels as if she's forgotten something.
"Tuuri!" she suddenly remembers. About to run out the door again, she feels a tug on her shirt.
"Mommy I'm thirsty. Can I have some water please?" Tuuri says.
"WHEN DID YOU GET HERE? WHY ARE YOU IN THE HOUSE?"
Tuuri's face grows red and she looks about to cry.
"I-I told you I had book club t-today a-and that I would be h-home late but when I g-got here you weren't h-home so I did made myself a sandwich and d-did my homework and went to bed." She begins to sob.
Sigrun feels suddenly guilty "No no no shhshsh don't cry honey! Here now have some water and go back to bed kid."
Tuuri willingly obliges.
Overly tired and confused, Sigrun throws herself on the couch.
"I am NOT cut out to be a parent."
end for now
I drew a pic to go along with it but my dad is working in the room with the scanner and I have no camera
