The Sweetest Little Thing in Our Genes
Little Lyn Jr. is only 6 years old, but his family thinks he has been here before. He is the baby of 5 kids from Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins. Lyn Jr. loves oldskool slow jams and he even organizes a slow jam celebration for his family during the holidays. He picks music for his aunts and uncles plus their wives or partners to dance to as a family contest. Lyn Jr. is highly intelligent, and he enjoys poetry. He is also a writer. His kindergarten teacher doesn't understand his ways of thinking, at times.
(Mrs. Hopkins is on the phone)
Mrs. Hopkins: Girl, do you remember when I was telling you that Lyn’s sister Cherie was trying to get us to go to a marriage couple retreat and we gave in? Remember we entered a couple’s poetry contest and we won $1000.00?
Pearl: I believe so, wait! Was it the one about something with “together they still spell forever” in it? When Lyn serenaded you with his guitar?
Mrs. Hopkins: (blushing) Yes, that one!
Pearl: Okay, what about it? I really like the "his and hers heir" poetry. I think you and Lyn definitely missed your calling. You guys are phenomenal in your love poetry. I absolutely have benefited from it all.
Mrs. Hopkins: Aww, thanks Pearl. So, Lyn and I have been working late together on some cases. Lyn Jr. is in advanced kindergarten. He is easily bored because he tested at a 3rd grade level. We decided to keep him in advance kindergarten. Yesterday Mr. Hopkins received a phone call from Lyn Jr. vibrant kindergarten teacher. He told me that our child has not been doing his work. I was shocked!
Pearl: I don’t believe that. There has to be more to the story. No child is perfect but something seems off. Lyn Jr. helps my kids with their math and they’re teenagers. He can do the work. What's really going on?
Mrs. Hopkins: Exactly what we said! I called Mrs. Berkeley up and asked her what work he was not doing. She said that in addition to her advanced students learning their names, addresses and telephone numbers, she said they were also supposed to learn and spell any siblings and their parents names. She said Lyn Jr. was successful at writing all of the information but his mom and dad’s name. I told her that he knows his parents’ names. He has a great memory. I asked her if he wrote anything down. What she said he wrote was “together they spell forever” (Lol).
Pearl: (laughing hysterically) You know why he wrote that, right? Because you guys used to read that poem to him almost every night. Oh, my goodness (lol). That’s so sweet.
Mrs. Hopkins: At the age of 3 he heard us saying that poem to each other and he would beg us to say it every night to him before he went to bed. He would tell us we are so good together and how lucky he was to have us as his mom and dad (lol). He is so sweet, just like his dad. I love them all so much!
Pearl: Lyn Jr. has definitely been on this planet before. Lord have mercy, that child of yours (lol)! Yes, I agree. You have been divinely favored.
Mrs. Hopkins: When I asked little Lyn why he didn’t write down my first name and his dad’s name guess what he said?
Pearl: Girl, I just can’t stomach any more laughter. What did he say?
Mrs. Hopkins: He said it was our fault because every day before we drop him off to school, he sees me kissing his dad and his dad grabbing and holding my butt, therefore in his eyes “together we spell forever” names for us is our first and only names. He said our love makes his little 6-year-old soul feel good.
(Laughing at the same time)
Pearl: Girl (lol)…his soul!
Mrs. Hopkins: Right (lol) yes!
