16 & Babied

[Danny]

I smile and nod

"Yeah sure, come outside, we got a basketball net, I can show you some moves. And we can watch a basketball game if you want"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"Okay. Let's go"

[Danny]

We head outside and I start teaching Peter about rules of basketball and we practice

[bigbabymikey1062]

He dribbles and shoots at the basket but misses.

[Danny]

"That's advice from a former basketball school champion. Justin won the school championships as captain"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"That's great. It must be so fun to have a big brother who lives with you. I wish I could live here in the fancy mansion"

[Danny]

"It's alright but the house smells like baby powder and freshly soiled nappies most of the time so be glad you don't have to"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"It can't be that bad. They're little. So the girl lives there?"

He points to Angie's house

[Danny]

I nod "it's best so then they can have the attention they need. Your sister is called Ava and your brother is Harrison"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"I know their names. But dad says not to get too attached. That's why I didn't want to do all that feeding stuff. I'll get in trouble"

[Danny]

"You won't get into trouble. You have a right to see them"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"Dad says I its not a good idea to see them until they get older"

[Danny]

I sigh "that's what he did with me and now he's forcing you to do the same.

[bigbabymikey1062]

"Because he's afraid I'll drop the baby and your mom will get mad and then I won't be able to see them.

[Danny]

"You was fine with Ava earlier so don't worry.

[bigbabymikey1062]

"I guess. Dad is really cool. Sometimes he lets me stay up late and drive the pickup truck around"

[Danny]

I smile and look at you "Don't worry about it. You are too young to be driving though. You're under the legal age for driving"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"All the older kids on the farm do it. It's just during the harvest on farm though. We can't drive on the street. Don't you drive?"

[Danny]

"I am learning to drive yeah, I want to get my own car"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"Your own car? That's so cool. Then you can come see me"

[Danny]

"Yeah and we can go out to places"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"Really? You'd come over? I thought you hated us"

[Danny]

"I'd pick you up and take you places. I need to get to know Randy though"

[bigbabymikey1062]

"That's really cool"

He shoots a basket

"Wow. Your brother was right. Do you think I could hang out with him too?"

[Danny]

"I don't know. You'll have to ask him. He's a bit older than me"
