Innes said want a boiled sweet I have bag full? Yes sure I said. He opened up the bag with his plump fingers. I took out a boiled sweet and unwrapped the paper and put the sweet in my mouth. Did your dad ever **** anyone in the War? he said. Don't know he never said I replied. Mine did he killed Krauts either shot them or bayoneted them Innes said in a satisfied tone. He brought back knives and gave me one Innes added a SS knife he took off a dead SS soldier he saw at the side of a road. I see I said rolling the sweet around my mouth. From the boys' playground I could see girls in their playground some were skipping or playing hopscotch or standing talking. Your dad met the Queen? He said. No not so far I said. He took another sweet from his bag with two plump fingers and unwrapped it carefully then plopped it in his mouth. Mine did when he got a special medal at the Palace he said. Did you go? I said. No I was too young just a baby he replied. Lizbeth was in the girls' playground I saw her red hair over her shoulders and remembered how she tried to have me in her room that time but I didn't. You ever kiss a girl? I said. Me? God no he said looking down at his small plump feet going red.
