"Naeun-ah, come to me," Tiffany said and opened her arms.
"No! Naeun, come to Umma." Taeyeon shook the rattle toy in her hand to attract her daughter's attention.

"Tae!"
"Wait!" Taeyeon rushed out of the kitchen into the living room.
"I thought you wanted to play fair?" Tiffany asked once she saw a pint of ice cream in Taeyeon's hand.
"I don't care. I have to win this year," Taeyeon desperately said, and sat on the floor beside Tiffany.
