complicated.”
“ When is it not?” I
replied.
“ Women, God’s forbidden
fruit.”
Suddenly, we heard a lot
of commotion in the back yard. I looked out and to my surprise,
Joshua was taking a swing at a bigger twelve-year-old kid. Not only
did he take a swing, he laid the kid out.
I ran to the back yard and
screamed, “Joshua, what are you doing?”
Joshua ran over to me and
said, “He was picking on Jason. I told him to stop. He didn’t.
Instead, he flicked Jason in the ear.”
I looked at Jason and he
had concern for his brother and that was about it. He didn’t seem
to worry about anything else.
Tommy took control of the
situation. By this point, all adults and kids were in the back yard
and my two sons, Tommy and me were at the middle of all the
commotion.
The little boy who Joshua
laid out got up, wobbly, and walked over to his mom. My sons were a
head shorter than the rest of the boys at the party, so the mom
didn’t know how to take the fact that her kid was just pancaked by
an eight year old.
“ So, what happened,
exactly?” Tommy asked the boys. All the kids were around Joshua,
Jason and the boy who Jason had punched.
“ They were making fun of
Jason. All of them were,” Joshua said.
“ What were they saying?”
Tommy asked.
“ They were calling him
mute and saying he didn’t have a tongue. I told them he had a
tongue, he just didn’t talk a lot.” Joshua was being very
passionate and it touched me how much he was willing to defend his
brother. I loved that kind of loyalty.
Joshua continued, “Then
they were making fun of him, saying that he didn’t know how to talk
or that he stuttered. I kept telling the boys that my brother was
just quiet. Then the brown-haired kid with the ripped jeans began
flicking Jason’s ear without him seeing. I caught him doing it and
warned him that he better not do it again. So, he flicked my ear.
That’s when I punched him.” Joshua paused, took a look around the
party, and then said, “And that was the end of that.”
“ I couldn’t have said it
better myself.” I patted my son on his head.
“ Son, what’s your name?”
Tommy said to the twelve year old boy who Joshua had laid
out.
“ Lawrence,” the boy
said.
“ Lawrence, have you ever
heard of a natural consequence?”
“ No.”
“ That means when you act a
fool, then expect a consequence. Usually it’s by natural means, but
what’s more natural than a twin brother sticking up for his
brother? But remember...fighting never solves anything,” Tommy
said.
I looked at Tommy and
tried not to laugh. “Yes, boys,” I said. “It’s always good to solve
problems through words.” With that hypocrisy, Tommy and I decided
to take the boys inside, where we spent the rest of the party by
their side, to make sure nothing else went down.
The boys were on one couch
talking and Tommy and I were on another couch talking.
“ Good job, Tommy,” I said
sarcastically.
“ Hey, I’m not the one who
raised a miniature Muhammad Ali.” Tommy said, pointing out the
obvious.
“ No, but you’re the one
who encourages them him to be just like his uncle.”
“ Which is what?” Tommy
asked.
“ Reckless.”
“ Good, I thought you were
going to offend me. I take reckless.”
“ I knew you
would.”
“ And you’re a bad ass,
too.”
“ I’ll accept that,
too.”

I grinned, looking down at my third
glass of chocolate milk. Damn this stuff was good! I had to admit,
I was pretty damn proud of Joshua that day, sticking up for his
brother and doing what was right. It was always hard for me to
separate the right thing to do, according to the Tandra, and what
was right in the eyes of the Mani. We took an eye for an eye to a
whole ‘nother level.
I finished up my chocolate milk and
decided to go into the den. I enjoyed the den at this time of the
day. It always reminded me of my dad. I thought about my dad more
than I ever thought I would, since we had the
