Family Love
Gary and Ash walked with us around various places and stores. I knew Ash hated that, so we decided to stop shopping. Sam thought it'd be good to take them to the park and have a little picnic. Gary's parents came back to town. They hadn't picked Gary up yet, but when they ran into us, Gary left with them.
"I think we should be here, this spot."
I unpacked the sandwiches and drinks for the boys. Since Gary's not here, I bet any money Sam will want another sandwich.
"I want another sandwich," Ash said, snatching it from the bag.
I guess not! I'd be broke if I really made a bet. Ash is just like Sam.
"So, Ash, what do you want to become when you're older?"
(A/N: Remember the days when YOU were a five-year old? I wanted to be so many things; I wanted to fly, I wanted to be like James Bond, and I wanted to be a singer/ doctor! Weird huh? Oh no... Gotta get back on the story!)
"A SALESMAN!"
"Salesman, huh?"
"Yeah!" Ash picked up his toy. "You wanna buy this? It's only the cost of ONE ICE CREAM! And that's not all! You get these um... grapes! Two for the price of one! Going once... going twice..."
"SALE!" Sam yelled, then laughed.
"Professor Oak?"
"Yeah, Ash?"
"You ticklish?"
"No, but I know you are!" With one quick move Sam had Ash laughing on the ground.
"Delia, help me here!" I put down my sandwich and helped Sam tickle Ash.
Ash was laughing like crazy. A photographer passed by us. He saw all of us and took some pictures.
"OK...(LAUGHS) I... I... I GIVE UP! STOP!" Ash said, laughing. Sam and I stopped and let Ash get up. His face was red from laughing hard. Sam saw the photographer.
"I'm so sorry, I thought you all looked like a nice family, so I took two pictures, if you don't mind. Here's one copy for you," he said, handing Sam the picture.
"Thanks."

A mother's worst nightmare!
After a few days of Sam promising me that he'll get me copies of the picture the photographer took, he took Ash and me out to dinner.
We went to a beautiful Japanese place. There were a lot of people. After our food was on the table, we started to eat.
(A/N: I love this part of the story! LOVE IT!)
"Delia?"
"Yes, Professor Oak?"
"Um... (sniffle, sniffle) you, um... smell something?"
"Well, um... (sniffle) yeah."
"You think the cook... burned something?"
"No... it doesn't smell like that... I think... (sniffle) Smells like... diapers or something." I looked around and saw Ash eating.
OH NO! I think Ash had an accident? No! My God, no!
"Um... Ash, honey... did you have an accident?"
Sam tried his hardest not to laugh.
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes... No poo poo."
I sniffled again. Boy, was it getting worse.
I asked again, and he said "No." I kept thinking, Oh, Lord, that child has had an accident and I don't have any clothes with me. "Then I said, "Ash, are you sure you did not have an accident?"
"No," he replied.
I just knew that he must have had one, because the smell was getting worse. So I asked one more time, "Ash, did you have an accident?"
This time, he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled, "See, MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!"
While 260 people nearly choked to death on their food, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing happened. I was mortified... but some kind people made Samuel and me feel a lot better when they came over and thanked us for the best laugh they had ever had!!!

After that day... you'd think Ash would be embarrassed, right?
You're so wrong! He did other things like that.
After putting Ash to sleep, I walked downstairs to see Samuel seating on my couch. "Who invited you?" I asked, smirking.
"Me!" he said, then looked into my eyes. "Is Ash asleep?"
"Yeah, he is."
"Um... I got you that copy you wanted." He gave it to me, and I put in my picture album.
"Where's your copy?"
"By my heart."
"What do you mean by that?"
Samuel pulled out the watch I gave him and opened it. It was the picture from the park! It was in the side of the watch.
"I told you I'd keep it close to my heart," he said, putting it back under his shirt.
"Remember, Sam, Ash's birthday party is on Saturday the 23rd. Don't make any plans for that day."
"Ash's party is Saturday the 23rd? IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY?" he said, joking around.
"Oh, you're funny."
"I am, aren't I?"
Just be there!"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
