Keith ran in the front door his sneakers squeaking and
squealing as he skid across the foyer floor and slid down the hall, racing his
way to the kitchen.
“Mom! Mom!”
“Keith! What’s the
matter?” mom asked as she appeared at the end of a short hall that marked the entrance
to the kitchen.
Keith charged into her wrapping his arms around her thighs
and hugging her tightly.
“Mom! Look what I got!” Keith erratically waved a small
piece of what looked like fabric in front of his mothers face. “Isn’t it great?”
Mom tried to read the writing on the small patch her son
held tightly in his little hands but it was moving too fast to make any sense
of it.
It was then that Dad entered. Mom looked up at him and
smiled.
Dad smirked and then started to speak. “He earned his Boy Scout
badge for blueberry picking today honey. It was all he could talk about the
whole way home.”
Mom’s eyes grew wide as she looked first to her son and then
to her white pants. She sighed. “Oh, Yes Sweetheart, it’s fantastic!”
