Time passed in a blink.
Baby Asher was now crawling andso naughty. Today, on the farm, when his parents were observing the rice to drive away destructive birds and other small animals and setting up scarecrows,
Baby Asher was holding the hems of his dad's pants and was working really hard to pull them down. While giggling.
Giving his mom and dad an empty gum wheezy smile along with bubbly
Laughter.
*drag...*
"Ack~ack~ack~~~," he laughed as he pulled down his dad's pants.
And then, another
*Drag...*
"Heh~heeh"
baby Asher continues his mischief and then
*swoosh!* his dad's loose pants came down swiftly.
"Ack." Baby Asher was shocked, his eyes wide open—surprise and confusion written on his innocent face.
"Hahahaha..." Mommy Willis burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
"Huh, little Butterfly, what did you just pull down?" Said Mommy Willis, still laughing.
Daddy Willis just looked at both his cutie pies and sighed. Then, also burst with laughter, at the same time tying the rope on his pants tightly after pulling it up.
"Come up here, naughty boy", Daddy Willis said. Lifting his boy.
"Why did you pull down Daddy's trousers, hmmm? Naughty boy," he said. Shaking baby Asher gently in the air and making funny faces at him. Making baby Asher laugh loudly even more.
After playing around for some time, thefamily of three went to their hut for lunch.
After they reached the hut, Mommy Willis started making fire to prepare their lunch. Daddy Willis went to pick vegetables from the vegetable farm.
As for baby Asher. As the "strongest" and "hardest working" baby in the family. He was "helping" his parents to "sprinkle" water on the kitchen floor and then "sweep" it with his hands.
When his Mommy turned and saw the mess, she clicked her tongue, wondering how such a small child could be so naughty.
She then turned back to the fire she had just ignited. Already used to his handy work since he started crawling.
After Mr Willis brought the vegetables, they started making lunch together. After an hour, their lunch was ready.
In front of the hut, Daddy Willis sat behind baby Asher, fanning a tiny bowl of rice in his left hand. While his wife set the table( one long bench and one small table).
After she set the table and placed their food on it, Daddy Willis then set the bowl of rice he was fanning between baby Asher's short legs. He and his wife then started their meal. Both the husband and wife were eating from the same big bowl.
Their menu for lunch was simple. Mommy Willis cooked nice fried fish dry rice. The fish was caught by Daddy Willis from the small stream four minutes away from their farm, in the morning. The fish was kept in a small tub of water in the kitchen.
Beside them, baby Asher was also eating from his tiny weeny bowl in front of him, and taking rice with his small hand from his bowl.
Though out of five grains of rice, only two reached his mouth, with only one finally entering it after all the battles.
He was not eating the same food as his parents. His daddy mixed three spoons of plain white rice with fresh red palm oil for him.
After both the husband and wife finished eating, Mommy Willis fed baby Asher the rice puree she had prepared for him. At the same time, her husband cleared the dishes.
After resting for a while, they went back to work. Then, later in the evening, they went back to the village.
