"Papa can I go inside now?" Eden yelled out to his Papa who was doing stuff in the green house. He was laying in the grass, looking up at the clouds while doing nothing but listening to Harper kicking his soccer ball around the yard.
"Edie we've only been outside for twenty minutes, give it at least an hour, try to find something to do instead" his Papa yelled back to him. Forty minutes was a long time. Eden knew it was forty because he was good at math and he knew that one hour was sixty minutes and the rest of the time was sixty minus twenty minutes and you could think away the zeros so it was six minus two and six minus two was four so it was forty minutes left.
Eden sighed but didn't whine about it for now. He was big now and big boys didn't whine as much as little ones. He was eight, his and Stella's birthday had been just a couple of days ago. Sometimes he wished he wasn't born in the summer because in the summer you always had to go out and play and sometimes he didn't like doing that. But this birthday had been pretty nice and they had had a lot of fun and put on the sprinklers and ran through the water and he had gotten a new cute plush rabbit from his daddies that he loved a lot.
He didn't like today very much though. He had started to play with his toys instead of going down for breakfast right away and Papa had been a little annoyed because he liked it when they ate together. Then he had taken kind of long to eat and Stella had wanted to leave the table to play, but they had a rule that you couldn't leave before everyone had finished eating and Daddy had made egg and bacon and he didn't like either of those so he couldn't eat it any faster. And then Papa had announced that they should all go outside because the weather was nice and it was but Eden didn't always know what to do outside. Daddy had brought out crayons and was drawing in the shade with Stella and Letha. Eden had tried to do that too, but he made one picture then he got kind of bored. So Papa had asked him if he wanted to help in the garden but he hadn't felt like doing it. Eden usually liked to do that a lot because the tasks Papa gave him were fun and he liked helping and sometimes they would find cute little caterpillars or worms. Maybe he could try to find some of those? But Harper didn't like them and he was out playing and he didn't want to make his brother upset because he didn't like it when he made Harper upset because Harper was almost always nice to him.
So he just had to settle for watching the clouds for another forty minutes.
