“Travis, because you are 14 I’ll teach you how to use a gun” I said sighing.
“I have been waiting for this moment scene dad taught you” he said excitedly.
“I told you not to talk about dad” I yelled. “His name will not be used in this household.” I paused “forget it, I’ll teach you tomorrow.”
“No” Travis yelled “you have to teach me today, you promised”

We finished our bread and then I taught Travis some more things and gave him all the tips I could. Then we headed into the barn because we used up our ammo that I saved for the day.
“I want to shoot more” Travis said whining. “Why can’t use more ammo”
“If we did we would have less for tomorrow. You will enjoy tomorrow more than today.”
“Tell me more about mom” he sighed “I wish I was old enough to remember
