"Boys! I'm home!" Bill smiled, greeting his two sons as they rushed towards him and gave him an eager hug.
They both began excitedly telling him about their days, finishing each others stories, and generally filling the air with chatter as he sank heavily in his chair. Matt kindly took off his shoes for him, and Henry kept talking. As far as he could make out from the intermingling babble, there was some kind of big event coming up, and his sons were pretty excited about it. Oh! Speaking of big events...
"Boys, could you get me some pop from the fridge? One for each of us." Henry perks up and ran off, quickly returning with the cans of soda. Bill usually limited how much they could drink, worrying that too much sugar was bad for them. Pop was a treat, and they were both happy to have some. He popped the tabs for all three, and then pulled out the three packs of green powder.
"This came in the mail. It's gonna be a big surprise." He carefully covered for the fact that even he had no idea what the 'BIG change' was. He wasn't worried that it was poison, at most he feared it was just a prank. Maybe their skin would turn green or something. He poured one packet into each can, and they clinked them together before drinking. Both boys proclaimed that whatever the powder did, it tasted good at least.
