One October morning, Jesse Duke went to wake up the kids for school. First, he went to Daisy's room. He opened the door and called,
"Daisy, time to get up for school."
"I'm up, Uncle Jesse." Daisy said back.
Jesse closed her door and went to get the boys up. Daisy had always been easy to get up, but the boys were a trip. Usually, Uncle Jesse made sure Luke was up, and Luke got Bo completely up and dressed for school.
'Ya could stick a piece of dynamite under that boy, and ya'd be lucky if he moved in time.' Uncle Jesse would say. Today was no exception.
"Luke, time for school." Jesse called into the bedroom.
"Kay." Luke replied.
Once satisfied, Jesse went t start breakfast.
"Bo, come on, time fer school." Luke said, giving Bo a shake.
Under the covers, Bo mumbled,
"Not going."
"And why not?" Luke asked, not in the mood to argue with Bo this morning.
"Feel Yucky." Bo mumbled from under the covers.
"Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"Aren't I too young to get pimples?" Bo asked under the covers.
"What?" Luke asked, uncovering Bo's head.
"Uh-oh. Come on, Uncle Jesse needs ta see this." Luke said.
He picked Bo up, carried him into the living room, and laid him down on the couch.
"Stay." Luke said, and then went for Uncle Jesse.
"Uncle Jesse, can you come take a look at Bo?" Luke asked.
"Why, is he sick?" Uncle Jesse asked.
"Somethin' like that." Luke replied.
Jesse turned down the fire on his cooking, and followed Luke to where Bo was laying on the couch.
"Uncle Jesse, I feel yucky." Bo said.
"Looks like someone's got the chicken pox." Jesse said.
Jesse checked Bo for a fever, then said,
"Well, no school for you for a few days."
Jesse went to finish breakfast after making sure Bo was settled on the couch. Luke said down on the floor next to the couch.
"Ya know how ya got them spots?" Luke asked.
"No, but they're itchy." Bo said.
"Don't scratch them, you'll make it worse." Luke said.
"Remember when you were chasin the chickens the other day, and I told ya ta stop, and ya didn't?" Luke asked.
"Yeah…" Bo said.
"Well, that's where ya got them spots, chasin the chickens. The chickens got fed up with ya chasin them, so they've decided ta turn ya inta a chicken." Luke said.
Bo looked at Luke with big eyes.
"Will the chicken squawks go away?" Bo asked.
"The chicken POX might go away, mine did." Luke said.
"How'd you get the chicken box?" Bo asked.
"I got the chicken POX by eatin' tainted chicken soup. There are many ways to catch it." Luke explained, matter-of-factly.
"Well, I'd better finish gettin' ready fer school. Rest up, and drink plenty of juice, and maybe they'll go away." Luke said, and then left to finish getting ready.
Bo laid on the couch a moment, then yelled,
"UNCLE JESSE, CAN I HAVE SOME JUICE?"
LOOK AT THE BUTTERFLIES
After Luke got home, he found Bo lying on the couch looking at a book.
"Hey, Bo, how ya feelin?" Luke asked.
Bo just frowned at him.
"What?" Juke asked again.
"You lied." Bo said.
"Uncle Jesse told ya, eh?" Luke asked.
Bo nodded.
"I found it funny, didn't you?" Luke asked.
"LUKE DUKE!" Luke heard Jesse yell.
"Well, I got a lot of homework, hope ya feel better, Bo." Luke said quickly, and ran to his and Bo's bedroom.
