" The neighbors are doing what ! ," LuLu exclaimed as she was busy at the stove in her kitchen fixing scrambled eggs , bacon , sausage and scrapple for the family. She turned and glared at her husband in amazement as he read from the typed notarized letter that had been left on their front door that morning.
Jonah sighed deeply. He felt like he had aged a tremendous amount since he had met and married LuLu. Of course he did love her and the triplets but...... " The neighbors have gotten together a petition of some type demanding that we sell the house and move. "
Bubba Joe laughed harshly as he sat at the table picking his teeth with his pinky finger. " That's just dumb as all hell. What they got to complain about? It's the pig right? He do make a lot of noise, LuLu BooBoo. "
Nettie Jean yawned and poured herself a heaping cup of black coffee. " I'll say he do. Damn thing keeps me up all night with his snorting and all. Bad as them babies crying constantly. I might well be sleeping in the street. "
LuLu muttered under her breath," That can be arranged. " Then in a louder voice she shot out," I bet it's that damn Spencer Norland - Lane. He's just petty enough to do this. And , Nettie Jean , go make yourself useful and go wake up Jimmy for school. It's his first day. "
Nettie Jean was too busy bending over in her shortie bathrobe in front of Jonah to scratch her ankle. " You do it. He's your kid. So I hear Sol coming to dinner tonight. Good. I ain't seen him since he was shitting his diapers on a bear skin rug in that dump y'all called a farm in Alabama. "
Jonah thinned his lips. " It's everything. The wall , the pig , the overgrown front yard. LuLu , we need to do better. I'm not selling the house right now. Not in this rocky real estate market. "
LuLu sighed. " The wall is gone. Porky stays. And Jimmy can do yardwork after school. Of course we are not selling. Not to please Spencer Norland - Lane's wheeled ass. "
Then her cell phone rang and she abruptly answered it , saying," What ! Yes. This is LuLu Simms. Pronounced Salmon. "
At the word salmon Jonah , Nettie Jean and Bubba Joe all rolled their eyes.
LuLu continued on ," What? I don't know what you mean...... I..... I didn't call the Rebel show about any test. They want us on when ? "
