The adventures of little burns:the jacket
Chief had dropped off Cody at his parents house while he went to the police station, his parents lived in the mountains and were making lunch for the 4 year old. Cody was sitting on the ground playing with toys when he noticed a jacket fall, he walked over to it and looked at it, it was Brown in color and had puffy sides on it with a logo on the sleeve. He picked it up before going to the kitchen where his grandpa, Charles Burns, was washing dishes. "Grandpa what's this?" The 4 year old asked. His grandpa looked at him before his eyes widened as he saw the jacket. "How did you get this?" Asked the old burn. "It fell off your bookshelf." Cody said, his brown eyes staring at it, his grandpa chuckled before drying his hands and picking him up. "I'll be right back grandma" he said to his wife, having been around their grandkids so much they started to call each other grandma and Grandpa. "Alright dear, your sandwich will be done soon" Penelope burns said. Charles went outside to his old motorcycle and took Cody to the town and to town square, he stopped in of the statue in the middle of town. Harries burns statue. "Grandpa why are we here?" Cody asked as his grandpa gently picked him up and grabbed the jacket. "Because this jacket has been in our family for years, worn during the winters Harris burns had lived and built a family here. It's important to always wear it," Charles said. "But won't it start wearing out?" Cody asked as his grandpa chuckled. "Yes but it's not something to worry about, that just means it's been used for a very long time. Harries burns said that the jacket should be worn and passed down, even if it gets old it's still a good jacket. No matter how much it's been worn and even if it starts to tear and rip that just means it has been doing its job as protection from the elements and seasons" Charles Burns said. The young blonde boy looked at it in amazement, "I tried to get your father to wear it but he never did, so your uncle did. Your siblings never found it special but I think it's time it's been passed down to the new generation" Charles said as he wrapped the jacket around Cody as snow started to fall. "Let's go home now, don't want to keep Grandma waiting" Charles said as he and Cody got onto his motorcycle and drove back to their home.
