Min-Maxing

(scene opens in foyer, back pack up-ended)

Gamma: MOM! MOM! Today is the last day! (waves brochure)
Me: (unfazed) Last day for what?
Gamma: (incredulous) Duh! The last day to sign me up!
Me: (absently) Don’t “duh” me. Sign you up for what? (takes brochure) This is for the Boy Scouts. You’re already a Girl Scout. Did you want to be both?
Gamma: (glows like a thousand suns) I could do both! I could go on twice as many adventures! I could be a sister to every scout!
Me: That’d be one way to level up faster than your brothers.
