âDaddy, why do we live in a tent in the Walmart parking lot?â asked Charly as he ate his slice of bread.
âBecause weâre rich with love and friendship.â
âHuh, can I have some more mustard for my slice of bread?â
âWeâre not that rich you little shit! Now hand me that rat head I get first lick,â said Freddy as he waited anxiously for the rat.
âIs this how rich people eat?â asks Charly as he hands Freddy the rat head.
âThey wish they had it this good. Now, Charly, did you steal the extra napkins because I gotta take a crap?â
Charly grimaced as he slowly handed Freddy the last of the napkins. âBoy I wish I had some ketchup packets for dessert. Are there any left?â asks Charly hopefully as he pulled a cricket out of his armpit.
âCome on now Christmas is a month away! Iâll let you have a rat lick, but thatâs it. Stop being so greedy!â
âWhy donât you get a job, Daddy?â
âWhy donât you shut up. Most kids donât have it this good remember that,â said Freddy as he strutted naked around the tent.
âDad are you a bum? I ask because you smell bad, real bad and you donât have a cent in your pants. Plus didnât you panhandle the librarian?
âI only asked if she had 20 she could lend me.â
âBut you canât pay her back.â
âJust watch, I bought 20 dollars worth of scratch off tickets. Huh, thatâs right the old man is whip smart! Weâll be livinâ the good life soon enough,â said Freddy as he handed Charly half the tickets.
âWhy didnât you buy food? These tickets could all be losers,â said Charly sadly as he scratched off a ticket with his fingernail.
âYa know youâre a mouthy little shit. I might revoke your tent privileges.â
âWait, we won!â
âHow much, Charly?â asked Freddy as Charly handed him the ticket.
âWe won a free ticket, weâre rich!â
âGreat, thatâs gives us another chance at the million. I knew weâd win on one of these tickets,â said Freddy happily as he scratched off another ticket.
âWhat if theyâre all losers?â asked Charly as he smiled slightly.
âDonât worry, Iâve got a spare rat Iâve been savinâ. You canât tell me I donât know what Iâm doing.â
