Telling a story "Family Break" in 5 frames

A creative photographer Matt posted 5 of his very impressive photographs with an inspirational title "Beware the 5 Stages of Grief" in the group of "Telling a story in 5 frames (Visual story telling)" on flickr. Here they are:
Then I found it funny to interprete it into a complete different story about a mum and her three kids. So I wrote:

The famiy had been having a peaceful and quiet life till the three rebel kids: red, blue and green decided to make a "Family break":
  • 1st photo: The three kids jumped to escape
  • 2nd photo: Only the green kept rising, the blue and red were caught by mother's gravity
  • 3rd-4th photo: The blue was struggling till exhausted
  • 5th photo: The mother became very angry while the green retuned...
Actually at the beginning, I thought the cup of wine could represent the earth, and the three kids would refer to some typical creatures living on the earth - that would be a real "big family" but too complex to explain in a short story.  So I chose to keep it simple.
