This House Smells of Poo

 

Starlight and Patience came in with Teddy from the garden. They walked in the door.

“Uh, this house smells of poo," said Starlight.

"With did you say?" Mimi said almost grabbing Starlight by the arm.

“This house smells of poo.”

“Well, get out then,” she said almost man-handling, woman-handling her out the door.

“Who’s house is this?” I said. “You can’t say that.”

“Why didn’t she leave when everyone once went?” I thought. 

Her look back said 'yes I can' but since she couldn't openly admit it she huffed and left through the open door, swishing her long woollen coat and strode purposefully across the uncut grass.

Teddy looked up at me. Titled his head to 45 degrees. Like, what was that? the look seemed to say.
