A new baby in the house, sentence 3

In Vancouver, Dad yawns over his cereal, the changing bag by the door is stuffed with nappies, and Mum calls from the sofa, "She's feeding, can you give us a minute?" Nine-year-old Josh feels a bit left out, and that is normal.

Who acts: Dad, Mum, you, year old Josh, that · What happens: yawn, stuff, call, feed, give, feel · To what, where: changing bag, sofa, us, bit · Speech: someone speaks here
