pull the family together
pull the family together
fiction
Edward w Pritchard
Third generation cell phones and artificial intelligence in computers and machines has leveled the playing field between children and adults within the family unit while the role of strength in the father or maternal instinct in the Mother has been lessened by civilization and easily accessible community knowledge.
Author visits two of his favorite themes here: children are not larval adults but unique individuals with remarkable abilities and instinct tops reason supplying a natural order to the world.
Pull the family together:
Mother and father were fighting about an insurance policy and the family home was in turmoil. The brother was in his room cocooned in his headphones escaping into his music and the baby girl was taking care of herself in the yard.
When the Mother rolled the insurance policy up like a club and thumped it against the walls of the living room continuing the running argument with the husband the boy to escape the noise went to the back yard to find his sister.
The girl was sitting near a pile of stones at the rear of the yard that the Father had bought some time ago to pave a path back to the gate running to a walking path near the fence. The girl was
industriously piling stones into groups. As she worked she hummed a little. The brother joined her in the work.
Fifteen minutes later the Father walked in to the yard followed by his wife to check on the Children. The wife had unrolled the insurance policy and was reading section heading 11 as she walked.
Hours later the four family members sat in a circle sorting and chipping stones, As they worked they hummed the song originally composed by the girl. The little family continued at their work till the mosquitoes drove them back into their Home.
continue
The families other daughter had been left forgotten in the house while the other Family members worked at the rock chipping outside. Although only four years old the youngest daughter was actually one of those Ninja Turtles. The youngest daughter, one of those Ninja turtles didn't need anyone to take care of her but as usual the fight about the insurance policy was actually part of the continuing debate between the Father and Mother and within the Family about what to do with the child who didn't quite fit in.
The Brother gave the Ninja turtle sister the jar of mosquitoes he had collected as they worked at the stone chipping as a snack while the Mother prepared dinner for the family.
No-one watched the odd looking daughter as she ate the mosquitoes. With the bright colored shell and mask across her eyes the youngest daughter did not look at all like the other two children both of who were quite normal looking; at least normal for children in the suburb where the Family lived.
As she worked the Mother continued to discuss the insurance policy with the Husband as it concerned the youngest daughter, the Ninga turtle's going to school next Fall. Having a child who was a little different caused a lot of argument within the Family but for the most part the Family usually just accepted it as part of coping with a child who was a little different.
