Hearing their sister's words, the six boys immediately shut up. After all, they had always listened to whatever she said.
On the other hand, Hanson wasn't giving up just yet. He pleaded with Vania, saying, "You've got to write a song for me when you get the opportunity."
"Uh-huh," Vania replied. I'll keep this in mind and write a song for him later. After all, I have to cater to his little whims from time to time.
"Mommy, don't you think you and Daddy have switched roles with one another?" James said cockily. "He should be the one who spoils you all the time."
What a heartless little brat! How am I not spoiling my darling? thought Hanson.
Jack chimed in at once, "That's right, Mommy! Don't agree to Daddy's demands."
"Yeah, don't do that."
Hanson's eyes rounded in vexation. Is this what they actually have in mind? This is terrible, no? Should I improve my standing in the family? He stared at his sons, asking, "What should I do to improve my image in your mind's eye?" He was the all-powerful president of a company, but little did he think he would stumble again and again at the hands of his sons!
Jack replied, "You'll be the best in our hearts as long as you don't keep attaching yourself to Mommy."
The other kids nodded in agreement with him.
Hanson's heart sank even deeper at their reply. Seems like I can never achieve the little goal of changing my boys' opinion of me. There's no way I could tear myself away from my darling, okay?
