(There’s that name again.)
Old Slim’s mouth dropped a couple of inches. “Well uh . . .”
“He’s all dressed and ready to go. He won’t be any trouble.”
“Well uh . . .”
“He sure wants to go, but with me having to do all the feeding and everything . . .”
“Yeah, well . . .”
“I’d do your chores tonight, of course.”
“Well, that might . . .”
“And tomorrow, too.”
“Tomorrow too, huh?”
“He sure had his heart set on seeing that parade.”
“I’ll bet he did. Oh, I reckon . . .”
“Good deal!” Loper turned to the boy. “Alfred, Slim’s volunteered to take you into town to see the big parade. What do you think of that?”
Alfred’s face blossomed into a smile and he let out a yell. Slim looked down at me and muttered, “This ain’t exactly what I had in mind for my day off.”
Little Alfred raced down the sidewalk, flew out the gate, and stood at the door of Slim’s pickup. The boy was ready to go to town.
Loper was all smiles. “Slim, you sure know how to make a boy happy.”
“Yalp.”
“Make him mind his manners.”
“Yalp.”
“See you around dark?”
“If we ain’t in jail by then.”
“Y’all have a big time.” Loper turned to go back into the house, but then he stopped and scowled into the palm of his hand. “How did this present get so wet?”
“Snow, most likely.”
Loper wiped his hand on his jeans and went back into the house.
