Meddling Kids

He was sweating. Digging a hole was hard work. He needed to get the hole deep enough.

"What ya doing Mr. Wilson?" Dennis' annoying little friend asked.

"Gardening. Go home, Joey!"

"Have you seen Dennis?"

"Not for a while," He grunted swinging the pick ax at the bottom of the hole.

JJ came around back too, "Hey, Mr. Wilson what ya doing?"

"Gardening. Go home, JJ!"

"What's this?" Joey kicked the long plastic and duct tape wrapped bundle near the hole.

"Compost."

"Let me help," Joey began opening the bundle, "You aren't supposed to put the compost in the hole in its bag."

"Leave it!"

Martha came out of the house with a tray of lemonade. "I thought you and your friends could use some lemonade George. Where's Dennis?"

Joey finally ripped through the plastic at one end of the bundle. His scream was ear piercing.

Martha looked at Joey and the bundle. "You finally did it George! You murdered Dennis."

“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”
