“MAMMA!” I sighed as I put Rei into her highchair, then turned to see who was yelling my name this time.
“What is it, Tanjia?”
“Elliot’s being a
pest!”
“What’s he doing?”
“Shanda and I were
trying to play a game, and he just comes barging in like nothing and wrecks the
thing,”
“Well, did you ask
him if he’d like to play?”
“I don’t want to
play with him, he’s to weird.” Shanda spoke up.
“Shanda Kiri, I don’t want you speaking like that about him again.
If you can’t say nothing nice don’t say anything at
all.” I told her sternly, “Now the two of you either put the game up or let him
play as well.” Both girls made a face. Then headed off.
I turned back to
Rei, and started to feed her as I had began to.
“Give
that back! It’s mine.”
“If you don’t want a
black eye you’ll give it back!” Kenya called out chasing after one of her other
siblings. They had a hold of tiger doll putting the spoon down, I grabbed hold of my
daughter,
“Let me go, I gotta
teach that mijet girl a lesson! OW!” Kenya was cut
off by a sharp smack to her backside. I turned her to face me.
“Kenya Elisa, I
don’t want to hear that kind of language come from you again, do you understand
me?” She nodded, I looked to see who had the toy
“Skyla Videl, you know better than to take something that doesn’t
belong to you.?” I scolded. I sighed again, *I have 3 seasons of this!* I looked to see
white flakes the size of my hand falling,
“You have to make it
snow this early!, Thanks Stormy!” I said out loud
looking to the window.
“Here you go,
Scarlet,” I said handing her a rattle. CCCCCRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHHHHH!
I just jumped about
a mile. And Scarlet along with the rest
of the infants start wailing.
“What is going on in
here!” I shouted out, as I walked into the room.
“Skyla Videl Walker, Kenya Elisa Walker, what do you think you are
doing!” I scolded as I picked each girl up off the floor,
“Darcy, go get my
spoon for me.”
Skyla lets out the
biggest No that I had ever hear. “Sorry Skyla, but you
know better than to fight. The both of you do!” I said turn to Kenya.
“Now tell me what
were you to were fighting over!” I demanded.
“She took my doll!”
I looked at my girls,
“All
that over a doll?” I glared
at them even more. “Where is it? Skyla go get it and bring it to me, and don’t doodle!”
I told her giving her a smack to make her move faster.
“Here Mamma” She
said handing me the doll sniffling,
“Save your tears, Little girl cause your going to need them.” I told her
taking the toy in my hands. Standing up, I spoke firmly,
“This doll is off
limits to both of you,”
“Mamma,
Its mine!” I smacked
Kenya’s backside as she started hitting me.
“It’s mine for now
Kenya!” I told her “For a month, you are not to even look at it! Do you
understand me?” I spoke harshly,
“I also take it that
you want to get yours first, Kenya!” I said taking her over my knee and
starting to take the paddle to her. I swore you could hear the little girl
scream like someone was killing her though out the other end of the woods.
“Stop that fighting
with me right now, or I’ll add more on!” I told her adding another swat. After
the final one I stood her up and told her to go get in the corner that I had pointed to in front of me she, sniffling, she headed over
and did as I ask,
I then turned to
Skyla, “alright little girl! Lets get this over with!”
I said taking hold of her.
