' That's better you look so smart oh I do love my little Bubbah looking very smart ' Sheila said proudly as Kyle came back down the stairs again and sat in a chair sighing
" So tell me Kyle what school do you attend then ..? Asked one of the women looking at Kyle
' Er South Park Elementary im in my final year and after the holidays I start Orange County high with all my friends iv visited the school twice it's okay a bit big but guess I'll get used to it and my friends will be their so I'll be fine " Kyle said as the women looked at each other
' Oh I'd never send my Laura their it's such a rough place you don't know who your mixing with I send my daughter to the Jewish school in New York even if it means she's boarding I know she's getting the best education and their students leave with the highest grades possible and go on to do so well for themselves many of them are now millionaires ' The woman said
' I have pretty good grades too as mom said and I'm the smartest in my class ' Kyle said
' Yes that may be but you need your religious education too and you won't get that at a mixed school tell me what faith are the children at this South Park Elementary are their any other Jewish children their ..? The other woman asked
" Yeah well theirs Francis he's Jewish I talk to him he's my age but most of the kids are all catholic and go to church and as for. Kenny my friend. well he's fallen away from his religion but he's Irish catholic he's got Irish. blood in him ' Kyle said as the women tutted
' Yes Kenny's family well his ancestors came from Ireland over 100 years ago for a better life I believe he has links to the Titanic too he had ancestors on that ' Sheila said
' Steerage no doubt " The two women muttered making a face and shaking their heads
' Sheila I think you should send Kyle and Ike too to the Jewish school in New York that would do them both so good and I remember you saying you had family their too and they had a child at that school so the boys would have an instant friend ' One of the women said shocking Kyle
' No mom I don't wanna go their and leave my friends behind and you know I can't stand Jacob ' Kyle begun stunned but got cut off
' Yes we do my cousin lives their and her son Jacob goes to that school he is doing so well and is a top student he loves that place and he wants to be a doctor one day like his father but I don't know I would need to send the boys boarding and I don't think I could do that I know they would be safe and I would see them in the holidays but it wouldn't be the same as having them at home ' Sheila said
' I don't wanna leave home I'd miss all my friends and that and we have a lot planned for the summer break " Kyle said with a smile
" I'm afraid those plans will have to wait as soon as you break up for your break we are going to Israel for 4 weeks for your second Bar mitzvah and we have 2 more to attend over their so you won't see your friends until you start school ' Sheila said shocking Kyle
' WHAT ..? Oh no way mom your kidding me I had made plans with Stan Kenny and Butters we were going to go camping st Starks pond also go to the mall the cinema and that no one said about going to Israel and iv never been their I don't know what the place looks like ' Kyle said shocked
' You have been to Israel when you were a toddler you were in your stroller we went to see family their and I'm sorry Kyle you will have to cancel those plans as I said now your seen as a man in our faith you will have to take on a lot of adult responsibilities and camping with friends is not one of them ' Sheila said shocking Kyle
' I don't believe this is happening I can't even see my friends and being dragged to the Middle East what next mom next you will be making me speak Hebrew 24/7 " Said Kyle getting angry as he left the lounge and stormed upstairs wishing he could sneak out to see his friends but he knew better not to or he'd be in deep trouble so he just sat in his room sulking and matters got worse a little later that day at supper time
' I have never been so ashamed of you Kyle showing me up like that in front of my friends and awnsering me back how could you " Sheila said as she told Gerald of Kyles behavior
' Look mom I said sorry but I just wanna do my own things that's all and I had made plans for the summer same as last year you know a crowd of us Stan Kenny Clyde Butters and Cartmsn go camping at Starks pond every summer we been doing it since we were like 8'and you never complained before so why the big fuss now and it's only for like 3 days and I can take care of myself ik not a baby ' Kyle said
' I know that son and normally I'd say yeah sure go have fun but this year it's very important you have your Bar motzvas also you have to attend 2 relatives and you need to be training for them too look I went through all this when I was your age I couldn't get out and play with my friends and that but when it's all over you can go camping next year and you can still hang out with your friends when you get back ' Gerald said
' I know that dad and tonight Stan is having a great sleep over Kenny is their also their having KFC I think and are playing on Stan's new game concol and he's got some cool new games too ' Kyle said
' And watching that disgusting Terrance and Philip no doubt ' Sheila put in
' Yeah no doubt well I dunno really " Kyle said
' No Kyle you know how I feel about that show and sure Stan is a nice boy but I am not keen on that Kenny I don't like him or his family ' Sheila said shocking Kyle
' What omg your kidding me Kenny is a really nice guy heart of gold and you and his mom were friends once too and so were you dad you were Mr Mccormicks best friend once when you were kids and mom you said you let me play with Kenny when we were babies and you sent me round to his like 5 times in a row to catch his damn chickenpox and nearly killed me " Kyle yelled
' Well I thought it be good if you got chickenpox when you were little as it is far worse when your an adult and yes I did let you play with Kenny when he was a baby but he's changed a lot since then and for the worse I have to say ' Sniffed Sheila in a snobby way shocking Kyle as he looked at his dad who shrugged
' Oh Stuart was always a no user why I was friends with him I don't know he's got worse over the years and sadly Kenny is going the same way I mean what do you expect really he has a mother who's always high on drugs and can't care for her own children and his father is an alcoholic and also dose drugs and I think his brother is in jail and that daughter Karen she will end up pregnant by 13 I bet like all the girls in that area so sorry Kyle you can do better than that and Stan is a nice boy okay his father is an asshole but his mom seems okay as she keeps Stan on the straight and narrow ' Gerald said shocking Kyle as he could not believe he was hearing
Kyle. stood up and got ready to leave the dinner table as he hated his good friends being Judged like that
' Kyle sit down and finish your dinner before it gets cold ' Said Sheila
' No mom I'm not hungry ' Kyle said
' Kyle you need to eat it's important for your sugar level we don't want you collapsing on us now so eat some more then you can go ' Gerald said making Kyle sigh
' Oh okay you win ' Kyle said forcing a smile as he ate his dinner but he was sick of being bossed around bout wouldn't dare awnser his parents back as he was too scared too so he just sat their quietly eating his tea and listening to the boring small talk
well that's that chappy done more to come
