Tomorrow is Christmas. Tomorrow is Christmas and he can't believe it. Dick run his sleeves on the foggy window. "It's snowing!" he shout to his parents.
He run back to the bedroom on their small trailer. 2 bulge can be seen underneath the cover of the bed. There were giggles and laughter. Dick feel jealous immediately. They're having fun without him.
So with a flip he land on the bed and continue to jump up and down. "What are you guys doing?" he asked out of curiosity. How does one no, two play underneath a bed cover? Wouldn't it be dark and hard to move around?
Head poke up from the blanket "Hey little Robin" her mom greet her. She look a bit reddish and there's sweat. Dick notice the same thing apply for his dad. With one eyebrow crocked upward he said "Are you two sick?" now he's worried. Dick crouch and feel both of their forehead and found they are heating up.
But they were laughing and giggling. One does not giggle when they are sick. Right? Ah but it doesn't matter. To Dick's mind they are sick. "You guys just lay down, I'm going to prepare breakfast." John and Mary see each other and communicate through eye contact.
"Oh dear, my head ache." Wailed Mary out of the blue. To John it is clearly she's faking it but Dick seems to buy the lie and immediately run towards the kitchen saying something about soup.
When Dick is out of sight, both lover look at each other and laugh silently. "Oh I hope he doesn't ruin the kitchen." Mary lay down her head on the pillow. John caress his lover cheek and wonder how he manage to be so lucky.
A second later they heard the clang of metals and a cry. John and Mary get up and put on their bathrobe and rush to see what happen. They found Dick, laying on the kitchen floor, crying with a can soup littering the floor.
"Dick!" Mary scoop him off from the ground and bounce the boy to calm him down. But Dick keep on crying until Mary's bathrobe wet from snout and tears. John quickly checking Dick over for injuries and found an ugly black and blue on his forehead.
Looking at the crime scene, John assume that Dick was trying to reach a can soup in the cabinet but fell and the can hit his forehead. He can't help but smile. It seems funny not to mention his boy ugly crying face. Mary caught him and slap him lightly yet a smile also grace her face.
"Daddy, that soup can is a bad thing!" Dick said when he finally calm down.
"How so, Dick? It provide us food." John logically countered with amusement in his tone.
"It hit me in the face." Dick seems irritated that John can't stop laughing.
On 25th December, the circus members gather along to exchange gifts. Some of them didn't celebrate the holiday but still join in anyway. The clowns help Dick to cover his black and blue face excellently. So in 10 more years when someone found a photo of the circus folk around a huge Christmas tree with Dick looking like a human Rudolph, Dick would have a story to tell.
