Where the devil was going on??
Archie was minding his own business, going on his routine stroll through the streets on his way to the park where he read the paper, when all of a sudden a hoard of youngsters made their appearance. The old man nearly lost his balance out of the shock of one of them (Beau) shouting extremely loud about wanting ice cream and needing the loo. He caught himself against one of the building walls and gripped his cane tighter before he regained his footing.
Bloody kids.
He gave a stiff nod at the girl's (Zita) response to the boy and opened his mouth to agree ... and then another boy (Matthew) made a comment that really riled up his old bones. Naturally, the older boy got a little jab with his cane.
"Not on my street," he grumbled. He then pointed a long finger at one of the buildings nearby. "Public loo's over there, kid." |
