Wild For You Excerpt
I thought I’d officially introduce you to Johnny and Holly, Remington’s gorgeous, and hilarious, kids. These two just melted my heart when I was writing this book. They have great humor, and they know how to roll with the punches. So, without further ado, I’d love for you to meet Johnny and Holly!
“You’re going to be in so much trouble!”
Welcome home, I think to myself as I hang my hat in the mudroom and slip out of my dirty boots.
“No, you are. I told you not to pour it like that.”
“What’s going on?” I ask as I walk into the kitchen and then stop cold.
There’s milk spilled all over the countertop and on the floor. Someone dragged a bath towel through the milk, smearing it all over.
“Is that chocolate?” I ask, pointing to the brown substance dripping onto the granite.
“I wanted chocolate milk,” Holly says as her eyes fill with tears. “And Johnny spilled the milk all over.”
“It fell,” Johnny insists. His own voice is quivering. “The jug was full and heavy, and it just fell. I couldn’t make it stop coming out.”
“Don’t be mad,” Holly pleads, and I realize that I must be a real asshole if my kids are this scared that they’ll get in trouble for a silly mistake.
“I’m not mad.” I take a deep breath, surveying the scene. “It looks like you two need to go change your clothes because you got wet.”
“Yeah.” Johnny’s voice is already much calmer. “It really splashed.”
“Can we change into jammies?”
I raise my eyebrows at my daughter. “Before six in the evening? Sure, if you want to. Go get comfy, and I’ll clean this up.”
“Thank you, Daddy.” Holly throws herself around my legs and hugs me tightly before running off to change.
Johnny, however, stays behind, his face totally serious.
“What’s up?” I ask him as I reach for the paper towels.
“Thanks for not yelling.” He shuffles from one foot to the other. “I mean, you don’t usually yell real loud, but we don’t usually mess up this bad, and you’ve been really mad lately. So, thanks for not yelling.”
And with that, he runs off behind his sister, and I have to take a minute to myself.
Yeah, I’ve been mad.
I’ve been frustrated.
And as of right now, I’m going to stop taking it out on my kids.
