Christmas Light Robert

From Christmas Light

Colly, still in his coat, had turned on the radio. He was listening to Terry and the Pirates as he poured over a dog-eared copy of Superman.

"You need to get your clothes changed before Mama gets home. You hear? Colly?"

"In a minute."

"No. Now."

"Macky, what are we gonna do with that dollar?"

"Go to the moon."

"Serious, Macky."

"Save it for a rainy day."

"How 'bout a snowy day?"

Colly rolled on the floor and began to laugh. He always did that whenever he thought he had been funny. When that happened, Macky laughed, too; not necessarily because he thought Colly had been funny, but because Colly was having such a good time.
