“Hello Sukey.. I mean Mrs. Pookie. Daddy went to try to give Dukey some clothes, and he hasn't showed his face back here yet. If you would like to sit down with us outside, you're more than welcome. I am sure Daddy will show up soon. He loves my roast.” Clara smiled at Dukey's Mom, then at Dukey.<br/><br/>“Please forgive my manners. Would y'all like something to drink? I have fresh coffee made, Ice Tea, Raspberry Lemonade, and Water. Your choice.”<br/><br/>Clara felt it best not to mention hearing her and Daddy's shocking conversation upstairs in the bathroom.
