my mom is cooler than your mom

When her mother appeared around the corner, Lumi rushed eagerly to her side. The girl's small stubbed tail was wriggling so hard that the entire lower half of her body was moving in time. Her happiness bubbled forth like a free-flowing river that had been swollen with springtime rain - simply put, the girl was a tiny, unstoppable force of nature. "Mama!" She said, nuzzling against Heloise's leg. They were different enough but it was clear that they were related from the slope of their muzzles and Lumi's pale coloring.

"Well, I guess I was just waiting for you," she replied, smiling. There wasn't much that Lumi got up to on her own without the watchful eyes of one parent or another. It did have her feeling a bit left out, but she much preferred to obey her parents than to fool around and get in trouble - no matter how much her siblings goaded her! "Yes, yes! Let's do something together!" Lumi would do anything if Mama was by her side.
