you can arrange them and we'll paste them into a bouquet picture."
"And Daddy can hang it in his bedroom,' Annie said. "Do you think he'll like that?"
"Of course. He'll like anything you make for him."
While Ruth fetched the box with the food, Annie busied herself collecting more flowers.
After sharing with Annie a picnic of cold fried chicken, tomato wedges, Edith s special Kincaid
Ranch potato salad, and freshly baked oatmeal cookies, Ruth felt satisfied and lazy. She stretched her
arms, filled her nostrils with the fragrant aroma of pine, and laced her hands behind her head, quietly
content. The horseback ride to the swimming hole had been pleasurable, the day was hot enough to
truly enjoy the swim, and Annie had been a pure delight. Not once had they locked horns. Unlike her
pigheaded, inflexible father.
Ruth was still miffed about their angry exchange the previous day, though she felt some remorse over
her comment about his men. Still, Matt had to understand the importance of teaching Annie modesty.
But for now, Matt was out of sight, out of mind, and Annie was her focus. Mimicking Ruth, Annie
lowered herself to the towel and rested back, hands behind her head, one leg cocked, a slight smile on
her lips.
Gazing up at the billowing clouds moving overhead, Ruth pointed, and said to Annie, I see a fat bear
eating an ice cream cone. What do you see?
Annie's mouth spread in a wide grin. Daddy and I play this game too. Pointing toward a different
cloud formation, she said, I see Lorinda sitting on a broom. I know it s Lorinda because she s got
big boobs and she s flying across the sky so all the men can see them. She glanced at Ruth and added
in a knowing voice, Men like to look at women s boobs, you know. Ruth didn't even want to think
about having this discussion with Matt, but knew she'd have to address the issue. The men absolutely
could not continue the kind of talk they did around Annie. She gave a nervous little giggle, and said,
You can t believe everything the men say about what they like in women. Most of time they re just
bragging the way men do. They say lots of silly things that just aren t true.
Like when they talk about wanting hot women with big tits? Ruth looked at Annie, dumbfounded.
They say things like that around you? She and Matt would definitely have this out.
Annie shrugged. They don't say those things around me, but I hear them talking when they don t know
I m there. Sometimes I hide to hear what they say because they say funny things.
Well, you shouldn t be listening in on the men's private talk, Ruth said, It s wrong, and it s
certainly not ladylike.
Annie rolled onto her side and reached for the etiquette book. "Can we read some more stuff about
being a lady?"
"Sure," Ruth said, relieved to be off the subject of hot women, and pleased with Annie's enthusiasm
over her first etiquette lesson. She raised herself to a sitting position and adjusted the glasses she'd
worn in anticipation of swimming, and Annie moved beside her and handed her the book. Ruth
flipped the pages to the one marked with a maple leaf. "So, when a young lady sits down, she
continued where they d left off, "she either holds her knees together or crosses one knee over the
other, that is, if she's wearing a dress "
"I'm not gonna wear a dress again," Annie groused.
"Why? Because of what Seth said?"
"That, and what the guys were thinking."
Ruth tucked a finger under Annie's narrow chin and said, "The truth is, Annie, men say many stupid
things when confronted with a pretty girl."
Annie's brows gathered in a contemplative frown, and after a moment, she said, "Daddy doesn't say
stupid things."
"You're right, Ruth agreed. He really thought you looked pretty in your dress. He even said so. You
heard him."
I m still not wearing the dress.
Maybe you ll change your mind later," Ruth said. "We ll leave the dress hanging in your closet for
now.
Annie flattened the maple leaf against her leg, looked at Ruth, and said, "Does Daddy tell you that you
look pretty?"
Ruth laughed lightly. "Why on earth would he do that?"
Annie shrugged. "Because you look pretty in your bathing suit, just like Barbie. Wait ll Daddy sees
it."
Ruth felt self-conscious wearing the scanty yellow suit, but she knew Annie was pleased that she'd
bought the one she picked out. It was a small price to pay to win Annie's approval. "Your Daddy
won't be seeing see me in it, or any other man for that matter, she said. I don t make a practice of
displaying myself in such a provocative way. I bought the suit, on a whim, to please a very special
little girl.
Annie twirled the maple leaf between her fingers. What does procative mean?
The word's provocative," Ruth said, "and it means, well, that a woman uncovers certain parts of her [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
