“Why are we here, Papa?”

“As I said before, Ulysse, we are in our new home.”

“I’m not sure how to interpret that.”

“As you know, we sold the farm.”

“Yeah, Ulysse.  What are you dumb or something.”

“That will be enough, Trevor. Ulysse has every right to understand our new situation.”

“Thank you, Papa. I am having some difficulty.”

“With what, Ulysse?”

“We have no roof.”

“That is only temporary. Besides, you can come under my desk if it rains.”

“Desk? This is a camp table.”

“Very well. But it will still protect you.”

“And where will you go?”

“Under with you.”

“Oh, great. Whose butt will be in the rain, I wonder?”

“It’s not raining now. Look on the bright side.”

“How about a description of the bright side?”

“I have my computer, phone, reader, batteries, and this glass of wine.”

“Okay, that’s your bright side. How about mine?”

“Your bed is here, and your loving brother.”

“Who just happens to be in my bed.”

“Well, in any case, we are all together and have our health.”

“I would like to see what a couple of wind-blown nights and a rainstorm will do to all this togetherness.”

“If you must know, in a very few minutes, the livery will drop off a house trailer, which we will use until the house is built.”

“Why didn’t you say that earlier.”

“And deny you the opportunity to complain?”

“Good one, Dad. Now you know what I have to put up with all the time.”

“Why don’t you get out of my bed, Trevor.”

“Why don’t you come and make me, Ulysse.”

“Okay, kids. Enough. Let’s enjoy the day.”

“Easy for you to say. You’ve got the wine.”

  7. Trevor doesn’t care. He’s got his butt in one bed and is eyeing the other.

    “Yeah, Ulysse.  What are you dumb or something.”–spoken as only brothers can speak. 😆

    You never disappoint, John.

  10. Thanks for the giggle, John! These two sound just like human siblings. It’s a wonder somebody didn’t draw an imaginary line down the middle, then dare the other to cross it!
