Rough and Tumble, Chapter 189: Inventory
Chapter 189: Inventory

“Stay put,” Naomi replied.
Ethan sat against the wall in the corner, a picture of patience compared to his jiggling, jouncing charge. Zeke finally asked, “Am I in trouble?”
“No.” Naomi had pulled out every stitch of clothing in Zeke’s drawers and was now ransacking storage tubs of hand-me-downs. “It’s no use,” she sighed. “Mud. Grass. Paint. Ink. Frayed cuffs. Missing belt loops. Torn knees.”
He squirmed and protested, “My church clothes stay nice.”
“Yes, but you need something in between church clothes and play clothes.”
Zeke’s face scrunched in puzzlement. “Whassat?”
Naomi smiled. “School clothes.”
