After Sarah left, Delbert sighed, knowing that today was going to be a LONG day.
"Ok Jim", said Delbert. "Now, I want you to go upstairs and get back into your pajamas".
"But Doc", protested Jim.
"No 'but's Jim", interrupted Delbert sternly. "Now, go upstairs and do what I had asked of you".
Jim sent a glare at Delbert but went upstairs and did what Delbert asked. He went back downstairs and finds Delbert cooking what appears to be soup.
"What are you cooking"? Jim asked a little suspicious.
"Some soup", answered Delbert. "I thought you might be hungry".
Jim stomach gave out a noise in agreement and Delbert smirked.
"I guess I'm a little hungry", said Jim a little embarrassed.
Delbert smiled and poured some of the soup in a bowl. When he placed the bowl in front of Jim, the boy looked grossed out.
"Whats wrong"? Delbert asked a little concerned. "Are you feeling sick"?
"No", said Jim. "I don't feel sick. Its just…what is that"?
Delbert looked at what Jim was pointing at. Then he sighed with annoyance.
"Thats celery James", said Delbert. "You see it all the time in chicken noodle soup".
"And whats this"? Jim asked picking up a long thin string.
"Thats some of the chicken", said Delbert in annoyance. "Now, are you going to eat or are you going to pick at it"?
"I rather pick at it", said Jim. "As a matter of fact, I'm not hungry anymore".
Then, Jim left the table but Delbert grabbed his arm before he got too far.
"Oh no you don't", said Delbert pulling Jim back into the kitchen. "You need to have something in your system".
Delbert sat Jim back in front of the soup.
"Now, eat".
Jim looked back at him in shock.
"But", protested Jim.
"No, James", said Delbert. "Now, eat some of the soup".
Jim picked up the spoon and had a couple of bites.
"Now, James, I know you can eat more then that", said Delbert.
"I'm not hungry", said Jim.
Delbert just sighed. He decided to not push it and let the boy go.
As the boy goes into the living room, Delbert groans.
Yep, today is going to be a REALLY long day.
