What follows is offered in response to Velvet Verbosity's 100 Word Challenge. The challenge, this week, is "Misbehavin'".
"BOY!! Git in here."
His son ran into the parlor of their ramshackle home. "Yassir?"
"Boy, you been misbehavin' agin. Ole Silas Kelly say he saw you last night, running across his dooryard with yer pants in yer hand. You been at that girl, again, aintcha?" - more of a statement than a question.
"But, Daddy ..."
"Don' you 'But, Daddy' me, Boy. You git her pregnant and I'll WHOOP ya, I will."
"Awww, Daddy, we use protection. Like you said."
"You best, Boy, or by Holy Saint Burgess Meredith, you'll be 30 before you put that Hot Dog in another Bun."
Ndinombethe.
In case you missed it, that last line spoken is in reference to the outtakes at the end of "Grumpy Old Men". FYI

"Holy Saint Burgess Meredith" made me laugh out loud. I always love your dialogue pieces.
Great dialogue! Had to laugh about your description of the hot dog in another bun!

Hahahahaha! Begin to pray right know boy!
Pretty funny..! Makes a big difference that it was his Dad who reprimanded him and not his Mom...
