Table Manners

“But your Ma said it was time to eat” Billy whimpered.
“Ah come on, let’s play!” Jr exclaimed.
“I’m scared, I just wanna go home” Billy replied, now of the verge of tears.
“Sissy” Jr teased “Besides Ma said she wanted you to stay for diner.”

“Yeah but…” before Billy could finish Jr started “Let’s play, It’ll be fun! Just look at all these toys!” With that Billy’s eyes panned around the large room filled to the brim with every toy imaginable, finally stopping on a large box of building blocks.

“Bolkz?” questioned Jr “You like Blokz?”
“Uh hu” Billy replied thinly.
“Great me too!” Jr said running to the shelf to fetch the large box of blocks.

Soon the floor of the boy’s room was covered with all sorts of imaginary tanks and robots as time flew away.

Without warning Jr’s Mother burst in. Eyes burning like two red coals, lips snarled to reveal a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. “Jr, How many times have I told you. Don’t play with your food!”

“Ah Ma, I said I’m not hungry and Billy likes Blokz too!”
