Re: Burnie's turn with Kevin: crazy adult vs bratty kid
Burnie smiled at the kid's response. It was exactly the way he felt about explosions big and small.
It occurred to him that he didn't have a name for the kid other than 'kid' (and maybe some of the more creative terms Scotty had used). "What's your name anyway? I'm Mike, but everyone calls me Burnie." He grinned. "Three guesses why."
"Here," he tossed the other two to him, "add some more color to the wall." Splatter paintings were always his favorite art as a kid. Burnie headed toward the table, to select the next 'toy'.
