Yeah, he knows all about
His Mom and Dad,
and what they used to do.

He knows they had no choice.

They sat him down,
and told him their story.  

These people are his flesh and blood.  

They gave him his life,
and they mostly treat him right.  

Angelo’s got these active fists,
he uses them on anyone that dares
bad mouth his Mom and Dad.  

Angelo’s grown up hard and fast that way.  
People on the block know how he is.  
No one messes around with Angelo.

Bobby

Felix and Sally both know that honesty with your own is the only way to go… No matter what! No surprises that way.

Thanks Dear Tammy,

You've got it Hon.  I've made it a rule to never lie to any child, and most certainly not my own.  Lies are no good with anyone.  They are a waste of everyone’s time.

I think that children can learn to deal with almost any truth but have trouble with even the smallest lie.

Thanks Dear Ida,

You said a mouthful there.  You are absolutely correct.  Everyone has a lot of trouble with a lie.

Very nice. No one gets anywhere with lies, there are no 'little lies' the smallest are too big.

Thanks Dear Artic Wind,

Angelo is Felix's son.  I hope it will be less confusing when it is read in the book.

I tend to write the episodes as they come to me, and then organize them in the complete book.
