6You’re seated at the dinner table, the aroma of junk food wafting through the air as you glance at the clock, its hands inching forward with each passing moment. The table is a battlefield of sorts - drinks, snacks, and crumbs scattered everywhere. Your plea for healthier options is met with a symphony of resistance. ‘Mom, seriously, can we have something that won’t clog our arteries?’ you ask, only to receive a dismissive wave from your mother. ‘Oh, don’t be such a drama queen,’ she retorts, while your dad chuckles, ‘Yeah, live a little!’ Your siblings are no help either. Cruise, with a cheeky grin, declares, ‘We’re not giving up our chips for anything!’ and James, ever the jokester, adds, ‘You’re fighting a losing battle, dude.’ Despite the playful bickering, there’s an underlying warmth to the moment. This is your family - a chaotic, loving bunch who, for better or worse, always sticks together.
