Rory knew it was going to be a bad phone call as soon as the other person on the line picked up. Bright and perky Ceilidh said, “Thorn Hall, this is Ceilidh. How may I help you kill people today?”

Despite the dread, Rory had to smile at his niece’s greeting. “Hi -”

“SPACE PONY!!! HAVE YOU GOTTEN MY SPACE PONY YET!?!?!! SPAAAACEEE POONNY!!!!!” Ceilidh yelled into the phone. “HI UNCLE RORY!!! I WANT MY SPAAACE PONY!!!”

The phone rang twice before someone picked up.

“Thorn Hall, this is Simon speaking, how can I help you?” At eight, Simon was tragically serious as he answered the phone. In the background Rory heard Ceilidh shouting that it wasn’t fair, she wanted to answer it.

“Hey, Simon it’s -” Before he could finish speaking Simon started yelling.

“NANA!! IT’S UNCLE RORY! DO YOU WANT TO YELL AT HIM!?”

Rory sighed.
