Blueberries

Every week Amber and Caitlyn come out to pick Great Grandmother Phyllis up and go to town. They hit all the high spots... JC Penny's, Corky Bells, and then off to Walmart. They always have a good time.

Each week Great Grandmother picks out a special treat to send home for the kids. Sometimes it’s candy, sometimes it’s beef jerky, or maybe something to go in their lunch boxes the next day. She always sends something special home for them. Amber says they always look forward to seeing what she has sent. 

Yesterday, Phyllis asked Amber what she could get?  Amber told her that they are trying to eat more healthy foods and suggested some fresh blueberries.  They went and picked out two packs.

That afternoon when the boy’s got home, Amber fixed the blueberries for them. She put Caitlyn’s in a cup and handed them to her.  Caleb and Austin waited as she fixed theirs. 

Amber said Caitlyn was scarfing her berries down as fast as her little hands could move. Austin was watching her and commented on her haste to eat her berries so fast, “Caitlyn, I know what you are doing. You are going to eat all your berries and then want us to share our’s with you.”

“No, I’m not Austin!” she said, as she continued cramming the berries into her mouth.

Amber watched as Caitlyn finished off the last of her berries.  She slowly walked over to Austin with a confession,  “Austin, you were right.  Can I have a berry?  Please?”

Of course Austin reached down into his cup and gave her one.  That boy sure does know his sister.
