I got to go outside! It was wonderful! I knew it was there. I could smell it on the Aunties whenever they came inside. I was a little afraid at first. Auntie Flo and Auntie Cora like to tell horror stories—-like being carried off by eagles and eaten by bugs if you lay in the grass too long. I tried to keep busy and when I was tired, I laid on the back stoop.
After a few hours, Mom picked me up and brought me in. I was really sleepy.
