“Don’t open your mouth now. You’re wasting good milk.” Leslie started to giggle, choking and coughing.
“Now if I could just learn to pitch a baseball that straight. Lemme try again.”
Leslie controlled her giggle, closed her eyes, and solemnly opened her mouth.
But now Jess was giggling, so that he couldn’t keep his hand steady. “You dunce! You got me right in the ear.”
Leslie hunched up her shoulder and rubbed her ear with the sleeve of her sweatshirt. She collapsed into giggles again.
“I’d be obliged if you’d finish milking and come on back to the house.” His dad was standing right there at the door.
“I guess I’d better go,” said Leslie quietly. She got up and went to the door. “Excuse me.”
His dad moved aside to let her pass. Jess waited for him to say something more,
but he just stood there for a few minutes and then turned and went out.
Ellie said she would go to church if Momma would let her wear the see-through blouse, and Brenda would go if she at least got a new skirt.
In the end everyone got something new except Jess and his dad, neither of whom cared,
but Jess got the idea it might give him a little bargaining power with his mother.
