Short Story by Carol Emshwiller
Four orphans have to figure out how to survive in our modern world without their mother. They're able to make it with a little help from their Uncle E.
The twist here is telegraphed well in advance and goes completely unexplained. Which isn't so much a problem for this story, but it does help illustrate that without the twist, it is still pretty much the same story. It's basically a 6-page sentimental expansion on the 2 sentence summary above. The ending is cute, but there isn't much more to it than that.
3 frozen dinners out of 5.
