Only they knew about it.
Although nobody knew what they were up to, sometimes they would play their pretend game. He would go up the street where they both lived and collect the youngster. Most of the time they would go for a short walk to the local shopping centre. From the moment they walked through the main entrance, he would take on the role of the father of the boy. They would go in as father and son, shopping together. It was great fun! Of course, the youngster had far less understanding about the game than he did. As it was, he knew that he wasn’t really the father of the youngster, but only he knew that. After a while, when they had finished going in and out of shops just looking at stuff, he would see that he took the other home.
They only played the game a few times before it went wrong.
It happened when he decided that on that particular day, they would do something different. It would be just a short bus ride, a couple of stops, then cross the road and get another one back. However, when the bus pulled in, the driver frowned, looked around, then gave them a concerned look.
He asked, “Where are your parents?”
The older one grimaced and said, “Well, I’m the father, you see… sort of.”
The driver said, “Is that so? How old are you?”
It was at this point, the older one took a firm grip on the youngster’s hand, saying, “Sorry! Only joking,” then, quickly made a beeline for the nearest side street and kept running, looking back repeatedly until he saw the bus move off.
Eventually, he got the young one back to his house safely.
Despite his age, on his way back along the street, heading for home, he wondered whether their game was such a good idea. Maybe he should wait until he was older before he did it again.
Older than seven, that is.
