The girl told us that if we walked back the way they had just come, about ten minute or so there were wild berries.
The boy added, “Make your tongue turn purple too.” And then proved it by sticking out his tongue for us all to see.
I got the feeling that the boy wasn’t exactly normal; like maybe he had some sort of slight mental handicap. However I could be wrong about that.
After the boy and girl left, Mom and John decided they wanted to go look for those wild berries. They asked me if I wanted to come along too, but I decided that I wasn’t up for a nature hike. My idea of being one with nature has to do more with water and less with trees and bushes.
“I’ll stay here and keep the bears away.” I joked.
