PAWNING PEARL Part 16
After a good breakfast of creamy oatmeal and a big glass of orange juice each, Pearl sent the children off to get dressed. They looked beautiful! Well Thali did. Isaiah looked...energetic and very neat. Pearl sighed. Maybe when he filled out a little...
Truth be told, Isaiah just wasn't a handsome child. He was clever, resourceful, courageous and fiercely loyal. He also looked like an anorectic owl with mangy feathers. Thali, on the other hand, was lovely. She had huge almond-shaped amber eyes, delicate features, and a lovely velvety chocolate complexion. Pearl had a wonderful time brushing out her soft hair, and tying it up on top of her head in a delightfully fluffy pom-pom. She looked a perfect living doll.
“Today we three are going out. First Isaiah, you have to get a hair-cut, then we will go to the doctor for a check-up, then we have lunch. After that we will go up so you can meet Mrs Markovish. You will be spending the day with her tomorrow, because I have errants to run.”
Thali stared at her with frightened eyes, and Isaiah asked sharply: “You will come back, Mamma Pearl?”
“Yes Isaiah, I will.”
The long narrow face with the oversized eyes hardened with a pain beyond its years. “Please don't lie to us, Mamma Pearl. If you don't wants us, tell us. We will go. But don't lie to us or run away. Tell us the truth. We are brave we won't cry or make a fuss.”
Pearl fell to her knees and drew them close. “I am not leaving you, never. But I have a thing to do that is not for children. You will spend the day with a very lovely lady, where you will be safe until I come home.”
Relief washed over the children's faces. “Thali and Isaiah, is that understood? You will NOT be left be anyone in this house.”
Isaiah looked deep into her eyes and smiled. He nodded, and Thali pipped up: “Are you going to go bounce your boobs like Sexy Sally?”
Pearl gasped: “Sexy Sally?”
“Yes, she is a very nice girl. She buys us hot-dogs sometimes, and when it is very cold, and she does not have work, we sleep in her house. But mostly she has work. She bounces boobs. She has big boobs.”
Pearl nodded “I see. No, I...Ahm...I don't bounce boobs. Alright, I will tell you. I am going to go to the Children's Home, to get your papers and Isaiah's. So you can go to school.”
“Oh! I didn't think you bounced boobs. You have very small ones. They hardly move at all. If you took that thing off they would bounce more.”
“That THING is a bra. Ladies wear bras. So we don't bounce. And we call the "boobs" breasts. Ladies have breasts.”
“I don't know if I want to be a lady.”
“Well Thali, lets wait and see. When you grow up you can be what ever you want to be.”
Isaiah grinned: “Thali's small-small! She's the smallest! I bet her boobs won't bounce at all!”
Thali rounded on him ferociously “They WILL bounce! And YOU so skinny-leg you will never play football.”
Pearl sighed. It was going to be a long day...
