Douglas, Jackie's brother sighed. They were in the car, driving to their new farm in Kannas, MO. It took three days to get there from Texas. Douglas Daniel Mousart (DD) looked back. He missed Aunt Laurn and Uncle Jackson already! He missed their cousins, Annie, Moses, Cooper, Kate and baby Kanga. Baby Kanga always laughed her googly laugh at his silly faces. Annie and Moses, both nine like Jackie, liked to climb trees with him. Cooper and Kate were twelve like his sister, Emma. He was always thinking how there seemed to be twins in his family. He had five siblings. (You say it sib-a-lings.)
His big brother Mack, his big sister Lucilla or Lucy, as everyone called her. His big sister Emma and twelve year old Jackie. He was eight. Finally, they drove up at Country Stables, the farm they were staying at. A boy waved. That instant, DD knew he had a friend. Douglas Daniel Mousart loved it!
Parents ask kids:
1) Do you think DD was afraid to move?
2) Do you think DD is a nice kid?
3) Do you have five or four siblings?
