Summary: You can't tell a book by his cover.


They peered over the Impala's back window-frame at the grizzled mechanic talking with their father.

"He looks mean," Dean ventured.

"Nuh-uh. Daddy said he gots lotsa books-"

"'He's got a lot of books', Sammy."

"Got. A lot. Yeah. Mean people never like books."

"Maybe."

Their father waved 'all clear', beckoning the boys out of the car.

"Boys, this is Mr. Singer. We'll be staying here a few days so best behavior, alright?"

"Yessir."

"Yes Daddy! Mr. Singer, Daddy says you gots- got a lot of books. C'n I seeum? Please?"

Mr. Singer exchanged weird looks with their Dad.

"Yeah... I think I've got a couple you can look at."

"Yay!"

Dude, this is so adorable. Selecting those couple of books should prove interesting;)

[caffienekitty]

A lot of them do have pictures, but... not particularly age-appropriate ones.

"Mean people never like books," huh, Sam? I wonder how long that childhood opinion lasted...

This was cute! I expect this isn't far off of what actually happened.

The great thing about being that young, even as a Winchester, is the simplicity of the rules of the world. :-)

Ah, I bet this wasn't too far off about what happened. It's funny, Dean correcting the way Sam speaks for a change!

[caffienekitty]

I've seen that kind of 'helping/correcting' behaviour between siblings the few times I've been around kids, and it's become part of my head-canon for wee!Dean, and turns up in a few of my stories.

And that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship :) I can see Bobby hurriedly searching through his house trying to find books appropriate for a child.

[caffienekitty]

I'm sure he's got a copy of "Baby's First Necronomicon" lurking around in there somewhere.

Lovely.
This visit certainly was the start of a very special relationship. I wonder what books Bobby had that would have been suitable for little Sam to read :)

[caffienekitty]

I'm sure over the years some hunting wiseacre has gifted him with copies of Mother Goose and other fable and fairy tale books (which at the time would have just been silly, though times may have changed). Plus he's probably got a few Little Golden books in the waiting area of the junkyard office for the regular customers who do use his mechanic services and bring their kids with them. :-)

Yay! m :)

This is so sweet! I little Sam's "Daddy says you gots- got a lot of books. C'n I seeum? Please?" already such a bright spark!
Bobby probably has the Brothers Grimm - as I think that's a hunting manual not fairy stories!

Glad you liked it.
