    Thanks, you have several to catch up on. I generally post two chapters every day. Being retired allows me the time to do that.

    An excellent summary. Thanks for reading and commenting. You're right, people are blind when it comes to making a commitment for these kids.

    So you have never seen Fidler on the Roof. If you get a chance, watch it. If you liked "Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match", you'll like Fidler on the Roof

    Chapter 6

    Bobby likes Jimmy. I think he would like Jimmy to be a part of his family and that could only happen if Pete takes a liking to him. Devious, but with love and good intentions

    I think he wants Pete to be happy, he's happy. Spread the joy

    Maybe some one was coaching him. Kids can be very observant

    Chapter 6

    The way children think I always found it amusing. For Bobby, he is happy and feels his dad should be happy as well.

    Chapter 6

    I always found it interesting the way children respond to love. In Bobby's case,. he feels the need to play match maker, a way for him to pay back Pete's love

    Chapter 3

    Thank you for reading. I wish many times to be able to wave a magic wand and have those parents vanish. But this is life and it is up to us to correct the misfortune of these kids.

    Chapter 6

    “Pete, if you're going to be home tonight I'd like to stop by.” “I'm home now, so come over anytime.” “Bobby, how about pizza tonight for dinner? Mr. Laker is coming over and he might join us for dinner.” “Are we going to get Jimmy to deliver it?” “OK, do you want to call him?” He took out his phone and dialed the number, “Hello Jimmy, this is Bobby, we’d like to order a large pepperoni pizza. Can you deliver it?” I guess he said yes and must've known our address. I wondered

    Thanks, but between us, there are not enough of the Pete's in this world

    Chapter 5

    I think their personality is a match. Pete is a square shooter and Bobby is an open book

    Chapter 5

    Bobby's mother is in heaven and visits Bobby in his dreams. Bobby's father is a worthless piece of humanity, so say Fred

    Chapter 5

    Pete's older brother has a dictator complex. Will see more of that later

    Chapter 5

    Bobby is conveying sub-consciously what he wants

    Chapter 5

    Sometimes kids say what they wish, there is no question Bobby sees Pete as his dad
  24. CLJobe

    Chapter 5

    Yes, in the mind of a 9 year old, he was treated as he thought how a dad should. Pete was very happy to hear that.

    Chapter 5

    The alarm went off at six am. I went took my shower, finished my ablutions, dressed and went to fix breakfast. I started the coffee, then got the griddle ready for pancakes. I thought one of these mornings, I’m going to make french toast for Bobby. I started to prepare the battler for pancakes, threw in some blueberries and heated the griddle.
