My father took pride in sayingthat he ran our house like a tight ship.
The ship got a lot looser when my meemaw came over to babysit.
" I bet a nickel. " Sheldon said while his meemaw and y/n are playing cards.
" I bet a dollar " I said confidently.
" Hang on there a minute, Moon pies, I want to teach you somethin "
" Look at your cards, and then look in the mirror. " Meemaw said smiling
" Hey, I'm smiling. " Sheldon said
" I Have no reaction. " I said
" And what does that tell me about your cards? " Meemaw questioned
" That I like them? "
" I don't know that its bad?
" Good job. Now...look at my face. " Meemaw said making a unpleasant face.
" Tell me what you see. " Meemaw asked
" That you're old. "
" That your old "
" It's a good thing I love you guys. " Meemaw replied
" I'm gonna look at my cards again. " Meemaw said making a unpleasant face again.
" You're unhappy. " Sheldon said smiling
" Which means...? " Meemaw said smiling
" You don't have good cards. " Sheldon said confidently
" So... "
" I'm gonna see your nickel... "
" and raise you a quarter.
Quarter? "" You can fold. " Meemaw offered Sheldon.
"No. I have good cards You have bad cards, I'm in. " Sheldon responded.
" I'm in also in " I replied
" Nines and fives. " Sheldon smiled
" That's too bad... "
" Two queens. You lose! " Meemaw said Laughing
" What? " Sheldon said looking disappointed.
" Ah-Ah-ah You haven't seen my cards yet. " I said placing my cards on the table.
" Two's and Five's...Nvm... " I sighed, knowing that I lost already.
Meemaw laughed at me, while me, still upset that I gave up MY DOLLAR.
" But you weren't happy. " Sheldon said still disappointed.
" I made you think I was unhappy. "
" But that's lying. "
" You lied to your moon pie. " Sheldon said frowning
