Famiy Cruise

Lauren arrived at her mother's house the day of their big cruise. Her mother had bought tickets for all the siblings. Lauren was eager to luxuriate and relax for a week aboard a boat, getting her every need catered to. She pulled her luggage out of her car and rolled it into her mother's house.

There was her mother Michelle and her sister Vanessa. Lauren could immediately see something was off. Her mother looked stressed. Vanessa looked vaguely amused.

"What's going on?" Lauren asked. "Are we driving to the dock to get on the cruise?

"There was a mistake with the tickets." Her mother sighed. "Somehow, we got two adult tickets, and one child!"

"Oh. Okay." Lauren set down her luggage. "Well just change it then."

"I tried." Her mother shook her head. "But I can't get it fixed."

"Well, what are we supposed to do?" Lauren asked, annoyed at her mother's incompetence. "I got a week off work for this!"

"Wait," Vanessa chimed in, a grin rising to her face. "I've got an idea!"
