My Brother, Cupid Part 3

This left the door completely unguarded. This meant that if I wanted to, I could just walk inside the meeting and get my brother to take the dumb spell off of me. But I knew this wouldn't make the elves happy or the holidays happy so I grabbed a plate of cookies to take with me. Then I walked inside and closed the door behind me.
“Mother, we've told why we can't make Mother's Day a week long holiday,” Santa Claus was saying as I came in.
“I'm just thinking about all those poor mothers who work all year long, and need a week long holiday,” Mother Day responded.
“There is no vay that the children vould be able to stand it for one veek,” Dracula said.
“That's right, it's hard enough to get kids to behave and serve their moms one day but by one week the kids will be misbehaving left and right and mothers will be pulling out their hair,” Santa said.

“I like it,” April's Fool said.
“You're mother would be especially disappointed in you, Cupid,” Mother said.
