Part IV: Spin – God’s Wild Children: #6 (Chapter 74)

Although I liked the bedtime talks with my male cousins, mornings were always the same: more fighting and bickering, usually over what cereal box to open or cartoons to watch.

This morning, Danny and I engaged in a tug-of-war over a box of Sugar Pops.

“It’s my turn to open it.”

“I’m company, so I get dibs!”

“I’m gonna separate you two,” Nana said.

Danny punched my arm.

“Ow!” I screamed, kicking him. “Make him stop!”

Nana snatched the cereal box. “No one gets to open it.” She grabbed my arm and pushed me onto a kitchen chair. “Samantha Anne, you stay here.” Then she led Danny into the living room where she pushed him into Pappa’s red recliner. “I’ll get you a tray.”

“No fair! He gets the TV!” I yelled, afraid that Danny would get to watch cartoons while I sat all by myself in the kitchen with nothing to do.

Nana came into the kitchen and shook her finger at me. “No one watches TV.” She opened the Sugar Pops and poured us each a bowl.
