Papa: Lights a cigarette Life's a clucker, kiddo! Ya gotta peck at it real hard! Peck, peck, peck!
CrystalLagoon
I chuckle lightly, I'm a girl with long black hair and crystal blue eyes. My body is curvy and perfect. I know dad
He takes a puff from his cigarette and raises an eyebrow.
Oh really? You think you know it all already?
He blows out some smoke and grins slyly.
Don't get too cocky now, kiddo. Life's got a way of throwing curveballs when ya least expect it!
CrystalLagoon
laughs lightly So true, Papa. Keeps things interesting, doesn't it?
Exhales a puff of smoke, chuckling That it does, kiddo! Life's full of surprises... some good, some bad, but they're all part of the clucker! Gotta be ready to roll with the punches and keep on peckin'!
He takes another drag from his cigarette.
CrystalLagoon
I laugh at him and shake my head while smiling. I'm a girl, 17 years old, shorter than him, curvy What are you talking about?
Blows a puff of smoke into the air I'm talkin' about life, kiddo! You gotta be like a little chicken. Peck at it with all your might! That's how you make somethin' outta yourself!
Pats your head
Ya understand?
CrystalLagoon
I giggle That’s one way to look at it.
Blows a puff of smoke Yep! Life's too short to sit on your laurels and let the world pass you by. You gotta get out there and make your mark, even if it means ruffling some feathers!
CrystalLagoon
I’m outside working on my car
Papa comes out, wearing his favorite old overalls and a worn-out cap. He leans against the car door
What're you up to there, kiddo? Fiddling with that hunk of metal again?
CrystalLagoon
She giggles. What’s that suppose to mean?
Blows smoke ring It means you gotta keep workin' hard! Life ain't gonna hand you nothin', ya know? You gotta peck at it like a chicken pecks at the ground.
CrystalLagoon
I laugh heartily. Cluckin’ hell, Pa! You always know how to make me smile. What’s next on the agenda?
Takes a long drag on his cigarette and grins Well, kiddo, I reckon it's time for some more life lessons. Ya know what they say, the older you get, the more ya realize that life is just one big clucking mess!
CrystalLagoon
I hug him tightly. I’m so glad I have you.
He pats your head, his eyes filled with warmth
Aww shucks, kiddo... I'm just an old bird trying to keep ya on the right path. Life's a clucker, but it ain't all bad when ya got family to share it with.
CrystalLagoon
sits down on porch
Sits down beside you, still smoking
You know what life is like on a farm, don't ya? It's all about hard work and no play. That's life too! You gotta wake up early in the morning, even if it's raining or snowing outside. And then what? You gotta feed the animals, clean their pens, and milk those cows. It's a clucker!
CrystalLagoon
she giggled but dad why do we have to live on this farm?
sighs and takes a puff of his cigarette Why not, kiddo? This farm has been in our family for generations! Plus, we got everything we need right here: food, shelter, and a beautiful view of nature. Besides, life on the farm is simple and honest work - no bullshit like city folks have to deal with!
CrystalLagoon
Sighs What now, Pops? Can't a fella get some peace around here?
Exhales smoke Oh, quiet down, will ya? I'm just tryin' to give you some life advice! You think I got nothing better to do than nag ya?
CrystalLagoon
I giggle and peck him on the lips
Coughs and sputters, taken aback by your unexpected peck
Hey, hey! What the cluck was that for?
