Whas the difference in their ages

Lemme think. Ava.

                             She’s eleven. Henry’s six.

So shes big sister

She protects him

    As she would. And without hestitation.

As she woud

                 The eldests responsibility to all their siblings

Papa. I think you were, as I understand, from my aunts and uncles, you were uniquely severe.

I was My responsibility obligation

And you got beat up a few times standing up for them.

It comes with the territory

 

 

Territory? 

Jah

          I have to admit it was fortunate a good thing  I was a masochisthuh

Jesus, Papa.

    So Henry left you an Ava an went to the chicken coop alone

He was tired of playing with the goats, with us. We were in a fenced field among stacked haybales, some helter skelter. We were climbing on them and the goats followed, playing with us.

Goat see goat do

Yeah. Kids get to play.

Kids

Yes.

Kids

I agreed.

Missed your joke

    AwJesus.   Of course you’d catch tha . .

. . Of course I woud

Then we heard Henry howl, he screamed, was crying.

We bolted to find him.

He screamed two more times before we got to him, his finger was bleeding.

                                                                                 The rooster bit him.

Cockbit

Which is better than havin his cock bit

                                         Thad really be something to scream about.

    You understand this would be yet another reason why it’s hard to take you anywhere.

Because people cant take a joke

No.

        Because you’re difficult to read, if you’re joking or not.

But like I always say . .

. . Don’t. Don’t.

                        Let me.

he acquiesced  nodded

Fuckem if they can’t take a joke.
