An Outlaw In The Making

John D Robinson

My dear mom is just something
short of being clinically obsessed
with her house cleanliness
and one of the blinding golden
rules is under no circumstances
are OUTSIDE shoes worn
INSIDE the house;
If the Fire-Fighters were needed
mom would force them to
remove their boots before
entering the house to deal with
the flames;
the rules are drilled into you
at a very early age,
my nephew is 5 and he is
very bright and forward thinking;
a little while ago he was playing
out in the back yard when he
needed to get something from
INSIDE the house,
without hesitation he strolled
INSIDE the house still wearing
his OUTSIDE shoes;
his mother reminded him
‘Samuel, you know you’re not
meant to be wearing your shoes
INSIDE the house’
without pause in his stride and
without turning around he said
‘Well, I am’
and he carried on walking
INSIDE the house wearing his
OUTSIDE shoes;
there was a stunned silence,
open mouth’s, wide-open eyes
and non belief from the witness’s
and when told of this I laughed
and laughed and giggled and
nodded my head;
5 years old, an outlaw in the
making; doing things his way
despite the rules of others,
I raise a glass.
