"here shelmer," my dad cries. he's got that little fucking pup corn in his hand, "here girl." this dog will eat anything, she eats rocks, anything. she walk's up to my dad's hand, looks down at the little pellet, licks it once, turns around, walks out of the room. shelmer rejected the "pup corn." fifteen months of my dad's life, right there. not one dog ate pup corn. not one. three months later, "pup corn" shuts down. chapter eleven. my father never got over it. never. i think it was over here. there. there. this rock is where i stood when i said the prayer. bingo. loads the cases into the car. yeah? that's a good one. i think you'd make an excellent big brother. yup. lost in his reverie, wakes up in a hair pin turn. the speedometer reads 80. they run out of road. the car skids on the shoulder, fisher cranks the wheel, jumps the divider, into oncoming headlights. fisher and moore lit up bright. okay let's try it again. let's see the salutes! it's okay, it's okay. timmy shut up! help your brother! adam! let him help you! remember a scout is helpful! a scout doesn't scream in the face of adversity. okay, let's skip to the scout's oath.
