Alex watched his sister sitting on the swings, ashe sat in the sandbox playing with Lacey. He was keeping an eye out for Savannah. He kept pulling sand out of Lacey's mouth because she loved eating it. Lacey let out a scream of frustration after the fourth time Alex pulled sand out of her mouth.
"AUNT RUTHIE!" Alex cried. 21 year-old Ruthie rushed over and picked up little Lacey.
"What are you doing no eating sand!" She said smiling. Ruthie was watching the three of them for Lucy because she was in town for Thanksgiving. "Yucky"
"Yummy" Lacey laughed. Ruthie walked over to a bench with Lacey and placed her in the stroller. Alex looked over at Savannah and saw a bunch of boys around her, he quickly jumped up and ran over.
"What are you doing!" He yelled at them.
"Buzz off little man, were bothering da wittle girl!" They laughed. Alex glared at them.
"Shut up" Savannah said getting off the swing, but she was much shorter then the boys tormenting her.
"Oh look it's a midget!" He laughed hysterically. The rest of them started laughing as well. Alex kicked the boy really hard in the shin, so that he let out a yelp of pain.
"LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!" Alex screamed at him, before shoving him to ground, Savannah grabbed Alex so he wouldn't go after him again. The boy got up and stepped toward Alex with his fist in the air. He was about to swing at him when he felt an arm on his.
"Lay a hand on my nephew and you'll be sorry little boy," Ruthie said threateningly. The little boy and his friends ran off crying. Ruthie picked up Alex and led the two of them over to the bench. "You okay?"
"I was protecting Savannah," He whispered shyly.
"Well, that's very noble of you" she said rubbing his hair. "Lets go home," He smiled up at Ruthie and gave Savannah a hug.
