“Elliot, watch
this!” The little yellow cub, looked to the other one,
“What?” Cubbi had
managed to jump from on piece of furniture to the next.
“Boys, how bout you
two go play in the playhouse for a little bit.” Both made a face but took off.
I had to laugh at both.
“Your
wimpy, Pinky, you’ll never make it as a knight,” Cubbi glared at Timmy for a
moment then started to head off on his own.
“They don’t even exist!”
“They do so!” Cubbi
responded getting angry and trying to walk away.
“Oh yeah then WHERE
are THEY?” Timmy asked trying to provoke him more. Cubbi knowing better headed
off to find someone else to stick around.
“Baby” Timmy said to
himself. Off to the side I had heard the whole thing but had decided to let the
kids handle it for a change. And was happy about the outcome
for the time being. Although I wasn’t to happy with Timmy, I had thought
that his old self
was gone. But it still lingered near. Well I guess its
also since he is only a child.
“What in the world
is THAT ON MY FLOOR?” I asked as I stepped on something sticky. It had taken me
about a good two hours to get everything clean this morning. I leaned down to
see what it was, it was honey. I looked around the room for the culprit, I
spotted Elliot standing there, by the sink and he was trying to what looked
like cleaning is hands on his pants. I headed over to him and looked him
straight in the eye.
“Elliot Ixavior how did you get honey on the floor?” Asked hoping
that it was an just and accident.
“I didn’t do it
Mamma,” He answered trying to look innocent.
I studied him for a few moments, there were
streaks of the stuff on the pants he was wearing.
“Alright if you
didn’t do it, let me see your hands.” The cub looked at me and put his hands
behind his back.
“Elliot, why’d you do it?”
“Well, I just, I,…”
“I got that part
Young Man.” I said starting to get annoyed. “Just tell me what you need to say.
“
“I just wanted to
play a joke.”
“Elliot Ixavior, I want you to clean that up, then I want you in
your room sitting on your bed until I tell you other wise.” He nodded then did
as he was told.
