I watch as the kids play in the backyard. I am currently sitting the chair making a scarf for the kids since winter is coming. I feel bad for slaves that will be labored in the plantations this winter.
My husband has yet to come back from work, he is usually off by now. I sit up walking inside the house leaving the kids outside. I wonder my way into the kitchen, pulling cloth up to peer outside. I watch as my husband went to the house of our neighbor across the street. Her husband is still putting his time into support her.
Guess he wasn't enough for the filthy wench. Dropping the cloth to cover the window, and get back to the kids in the backyard. Before I could reach to open the back door the kids come bursting through the door.
"Mother look what I caught" the youngest said showing me a worm. She looks just like her father.
"Oh wow how about we put it back outside" I said smiling at her.
"But mommy I want to keep it" she said whining at me.
"Yeah we want to keep it" the three plead at the same time. Giving me pleading eyes to keep it.
"Fine you can keep it" sighing and patting their head. Now to find something to put it in, I thought while looking around. I finally spotted a box with. Grabbing it, and going back outside.
I looked inside the box taking the stuff out of it laying in on the outdoor table. "I have the box" holding it up for them to see.
"Yay" they cheered happily hurriedly putting the earthworm in the box.
"Even the smallest living thing supports a bigger chain" I said out loud watching the worm move around in the box.
