Young Noah at six and his brother
John Thomas only four are happily
Enjoying their grandparents visit
Noah and his Granddaddy Bob
Are outside and into a special day
John Thomas cuddles in the lap of
Grandmama Mary hugging warmly
He takes her necklace in his hand
Saying locket and chain are pretty
His Mom Regina joins in to suggest
When you grow up you will meet
A pretty young woman and will
Want to give her something nice
On a gold chain like Grandmama's
I know you will enjoy doing that
John Thomas looks at both of them
To announce firmly - I don't shop
You make me want to borrow from my bank of memories of the hillarious things my children said that I have filed safely away. This is beautifully crafted Bill...subtle, succinct, and complete delivery in the character development and ensuing punch! Just love it!
Love,
Taylor
Enjoyed this write...I once had a conversation with my son when he was five, I remember telling him that I thought the cute little girl that sat beside him in his kindergarten class could be his wife one day that he should be nice to her. He simpley replied, "I'm not getting married, remember I don't like girls!" Children say the most wonderful things! Enjoyed this much!

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
