The President’s Five Children

When Bonnie woke up, it was already midday. Her head hurt so much as if it was going to explode any minute. “Mommy, you are up.” Erika rushed to her from the hallway. Her chubby face registered concerns. Andrew and Lukas walked in with a glass of lukewarm water and some pills, “Here.” And Joanna grabbed a candy. “Mommy can have this candy when you eat the bitter pills.”

Bonnie quickly swallowed the pills and ate the candy. The bitterness was driven away.
