“No thank you – we are just having cold roast beef sandwiches because your father is going out”
“Okay – see you later “
　
**
“I have been thinking “ Bette said during the family meal of cold roast beef on warm fresh bread. Melvin looked up from his sandwich and smiled at her
“What have you been thinking sweetheart ?”
“I have some money saved up – could I take about $100 out ?”
“What do you want to buy with the money ?” her mother asked
“I thought I might like to start running – there is a running club a few blocks away and I was reading their flyer – I want to start running “ Bette took the flyer from her pocket and unfolded it by putting it on the table and flattening it out with her hands for several minutes before handing it to her father.
Melvin had wanted to shout at Bette that it didn’t matter how creased the flyer was – he dealt with slightly creased papers all the time and as long as they were readable it didn’t matter. But he took a deep breath and when he finally received the paper he nodded
“I have heard of these guys – so you want running shoes ?”
“Yes please “
“Okay “ he took his wallet from his trousers and took out three $20 “ That’s all I have right now but see me before you go out on Saturday and I will give you the other $40” he placed the money on Bette’s plate “ You need to go to a good shoe shop and you need good thick socks and a sports bra “
Bette looked shocked “I have money “
“I know you do – you now have $60 more. don’t argue please “
“No I won’t – thank you “
“My pleasure – now I better get going – I need to get to an ATM as my wallet is now empty”
Bette stood up at the same time as her father
“Thanks dad “
“Its nice to be able to treat my angel “ they hugged “ you should research the right sort of running shoes “ he said
“I will – thank you – I will put this away “ she took the money and left the room
“That was a lovely thing to do Melvin “
“She’s my daughter and I want to spoil her – but how can you spoil a kid whose only passion is for black spiral notebooks ? Running is a step in the right direction if you will allow me a bad joke”
“You are allowed bad jokes – and a kiss “
