Bikky stared at the object with horrified fascination.

“What is that? Some kinda weird creature?”

Dee tried to disguise his laughter with a cough, but wasn’t very successful so he gave up, grinning like a loon. Ryo just looked pained.

“They’re a family heirloom; my great grandfather’s bagpipes. They’re very old.” At Bikky’s look of incomprehension, he added, “Bagpipes, Scotland’s traditional musical instrument? You must have heard of them. What are they teaching you in school?”

“Loads of stuff, just not about Scotland. Why would they? This is America.”

Dee chuckled.

“Give it up, babe, at least you appreciate them.”

The End

I have a feeling that there is a lesson or two about Scotland in Bikky's future.

I don't know that Bikky will be too happy about that, lol! American history is enough of a pain to learn and now Ryo wants him to learn about Scottish history too? That's SO not fair! ;)

Thank you!

Exactly, but he would listen and try to pay attention for Ryo's sake and because he likes that Ryo considers his history Bikky's history as well.

Good point. Bikky is basically a good kid. He might not remember everything but at least he'll listen.
