The Next Rainy Day

I wheeled around to see Rusty standing on this little plastic step, his arm plunged elbow deep in a huge fish tank. I got over there in a hurry and pulled him off the step. He slopped water all over his pants, knocked the lights and filter askew. Turned out he'd asked one of the employees what kind of fish were in that tank. The guy told him piranhas. Russ asked if those were the fish with teeth, the ones that could eat a cow in minutes. Yeah, the guy told him. After I got him away from the tank, he held out his hand, grinning wide, and said, “See, they don't bite. That guy told me they were the ones that bite!”

For his efforts he got a slap upside the head and grounded for a week. On the way home he cast his silence over the entire car. Even way back then he could generate misery by just keeping his mouth shut and his dark little eyes focused on nothing in particular.
