A decision Made Without

Cassie!
What do you want?
If you ever think about touching my jersey again, you’re dead.
I don’t know what you are talking about.
You know perfectly well what I am talking about.
I can’t help that your team sucks money-balls.
What does that mean?
Haven’t you like lost every game on Friday...Yeah that’s what I thought….
Well….Why don’t you go off and learn to color in the lines?
I can’t help that I have more artistic ability than you. You don’t even know where you are going to college.
So what.
It does suck to be you.
No…No it doesn’t it….Did you hear that?
Hear what?
I think I heard mom and dad arguing.
…..You are right. They are really loud.
I am checking this out for sure.
Don’t you dare?
I will beat you up there!

Carlton move over I can’t hear….What are they saying?
………………………They are saying something about the lake.

What about the lake?

I think…I think they are fighting about selling it.
OH NO! They can’t do that, we love that place. We used to go every summer.
Maybe that’s the problem. We don’t go any more.
True we haven’t gone since we were kids.
I remember swing in the rope on the tree and jumping in the water.
I love the beach. It was so nice to be the only ones there.
What about the tall grass and getting bite by all those bugs or trying to catch those toads.
Gross, I remember that. I never did that. I am a girl you know, not a boy.
Every true.

We do have our memories.
They were good memories catching those frogs.

Maybe we should support mom and dad’s decision to sell it. There is no way of fighting it.
Agreed. They can make the decision without us. It’s only a sitting lake now that it doesn’t get the attention that it needs.
I wish they would ask us about it but they have more responsibility than us when it comes to the lake.
This decision is going to be made without us.
