Chapter 7: Dad's Brilliant Idea #

Just then, Dad walked into the room, carrying a mug of coffee. He stopped short, blinking in surprise at the swirling rainbow chaos around him.

"Wow!" Dad exclaimed cheerfully. "Did someone redecorate without me?"

"Very funny," Mom replied, wiping colorful bubbles from her forehead.

"Dad!" Lulu ran up, tugging at his sleeve. "We were trying to clean, but—"

"It's getting worse!" Rosie interrupted dramatically.

Dad surveyed the room thoughtfully, then smiled. "Actually, I think it looks amazing. Maybe we could leave one wall as a family art project."

"Really?" Lulu asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Just one wall," Mom agreed reluctantly, sighing. "It is sort of beautiful—in a messy, creative kind of way."

"Then it's decided," Dad announced happily. "We'll keep the masterpiece wall!"

Everyone cheered, except Rosie, who cautiously asked, "But what about Waggleton?"

They all turned to see Waggleton sitting proudly, covered head-to-paws in every color of the rainbow, wagging his tail happily.
