The brush went back to Molly and she took a moment to appreciate the silence that followed before speaking again. “Are there any other admin things we should go over?”
Violet’s hand shot up and she leaned on the edge of her seat, as if ready to stand up with excitement. “What if everyone votes against the spanker? Something should happen to him in those situations, just to keep it fair.” She tossed the hairbrush back to Molly.
“That’s a good question…”
“Can I have that?” Toby asked, and Molly smacked him on the leg, but then passed it anyway. “We will cross that bridge when it gets here. We’re not going to waste time on hypotheticals when it’s very unlikely that would ever happen.”
“What if it’s a tie-breaker then? There’s an even number of people here, you can’t tell me that’s not a possibility.”
Toby rolled his eyes. “There are plenty of people who could be tie-breakers.”
“But what if they’re biased? We need someone who isn’t gonna pick sides.”
Molly snatched the hairbrush back from Toby. “You’re not following the talking stick rules!”
Gabe held out his hand for the brush, and Molly gave it to him, expecting that he wanted to talk, but instead he jerked Violet out of her seat and landed two loud swats over her skirt, then passed it back to Molly.
“Umm… thanks. Anyway, Adam or Vic could be the tie-breakers. They both would be unbiased enough, don’t you think?”
Violet’s eyes rolled but she nodded anyway.
