I Don’t Ask Anymore
Friday 06.04.10Scene: After Naptime
JJ enters room, wearing a green long-sleeved shirt from the morning and shorts just a few shades bluer than the green shirt, close enough that the eyes naturally squint. He’s holding a kleenex to his chin.
Mama: “JJ, you’re wearing shorts.”
JJ: “Yep.”
Mama: “Why?”
JJ: “Cause it was quiet time.”
Abe comes trundling in the room, wearing his swimming trunks and lacking a shirt, carrying a kleenex.
Mama: “Abe, you’re wearing your swimming trunks.”
Abe: “Mama, owie! I gotta scratchie!”
Mama: “You have a little scratch?”
Abe, trying to stand on one foot while holding the other up to show it off: “SCRATCHIE!”
JJ: “No, Mama, it’s a BIG scratch!”
Abe, smiling: “I BLEEDING!!!”
JJ: “He’s bleeding a lot!”
Abe: “Yep!” Puts both feet firmly on the floor and trundles off.
JJ’s kleenex was never explained.
You’re back!
Missing you tons and sending wishes of healthfulness your way!!
