"Oh!" His little hand flew over his mouth as his eyes got wide and apologetic. "I'm sorry Miss Verty, no, it's okay." He nodded vigorously and licked his lips, he forgot about the babies and that it might be bad for them. He'd wait to ask later, he didn't want to go with Uncle Theo if Miss Verty couldn't go.
"Can we go swimmin'?" He asked carefully, he dinnit know if that would be bad for the babies too- but he hadn't gone swimmin' in a loooong time, he liked swimmin. "And then maybe get ice cream?" He didn't really want candy, he like ice cream and cake better.
