Out the window

Little Boy Jimmy stared out the window from the living room of 106 Earlwood Road. Cars roared by! Cars roared by! One was a '63 Ford Thunderbird. Another was a '62 Chevy Nova. First one green, second one white. Oh, boy, is this exciting! Oh, boy, is this amazing! Little Boy Jimmy was so excited he could barely contain himself.

"Mommy, Mommy, I saw a Thunderbird! I saw a Nova!"

"Oh, for Heaven's sake, Jimmy, how could you possibly know it's a Thunderbird? You're 3 years old!" laughed his mother.

"But I know it! I know it, Mommy! I've seen them lots and lots of times before!"

"Okay, son, if you say so."

"Can I go back to the window, pretty please Mommy?"

"Yes, Jimmy. I'm going back to 'Days of Our Lives' now. Let me know when Jeff comes home from school."

Little Boy Jimmy went back to the front window. He stared outside, watching the cars roll down Earlwood Road. There came the Andrews' Rambler. Next, the Jannson's Volkswagen Bug. It's a Bug, Jimmy said to himself. In the other direction, the Bixler's Oldsmobile Delta 88. Then came Mrs. Kinney and her big blue Pontiac Bonneville convertible. Oh, boy, said Jimmy to himself.

Maybe Big Brother Jeff would come home from kindergarten soon. He liked Mrs. Langue. She was a good teacher even if she slapped Big Brother Jeff on the cheek that one day. Jimmy hoped Jeff would come home soon. He wanted to play blocks with his big brother. Jeff was really fun.
