"Oh look! Isn't he cute, look how tiny he is"
Father was busy unstrapping the carrying basket from the back of the bicycle
The newchild was peering up curiously from the basket, the pale eyes
Almost every citizen in the community had dark eyes
My parents did, I did and so did all of my group members and friends. But there was an exception a female five who I noticed had different lighter eyes.
No one mentioned such things; it was not a rule but was considered rude to call attention to things that were unsettling or different about individuals.
If you didn't know this you would be called chastisement because of your insensitive chatter
Father put his bike into it's port then he picked up the basket and carried it into the house. Following behind
Now seeing the newchild I was reminded of the light eyes that Noah had but it been so long, I can't remember what he looked like I almost forgotten
Seeing the newchild expression, the light eyes we're not only a rarity but have one had a certain look: depth as if one were looking into the clear water of the river, down to the bottom where things might lurk.
Which hadn't been discovered yet
Me and mother were both bending over to watch father unwrapped the blanket
"What's his comfort object called" picking up the stuffed creature which had been placed beside the newchild in his basket
Father glanced at it "hippo"
Mine was a elephant when I was younger
"Hippo" I repeated smiling and put down the comfort object
Peering at the newchild who waved his arms
"I think newchildren are cute"
