Martian Green Blood
Mommy was a Duchess in Ashford, England, because she owned a castle with a title.
Her five sons would be called Lords.
Their Daddy was a Duke. He had this title until his death or if the castle was sold. Same with Mommy.
Mommy tried to tell her sons they were Lords in England even at such a young age. They wanted to know what they would do as a Lord.
The first time they were there at the castle, they tried selling and did sell a suite of armor they had named George.
They needed money to buy their Gramps, their granddad, a birthday present in the Village of Ashford.
She had to go back to England for certain things. She was the law in her county where her castle was located.
Court was held twice a year so she had to show up. She was the judge.
The English liked their titles.
Her husband, Daddy, was at sea for some legal work.
Mommy had to take her boys with her on the trip to the County of Ashford.
The boys liked the flight on Mommy’s private airplane to London.
Her boys kept on playing their Lord part. First it was Lord Jimmy and Lord Andy.
The other boys had to bow to their two brothers. “Is that all your Lordships wants?” “Off with his head!” the Lord boys would say.
Then it became the triplets turn to play the role, Lord Billy, Lord Danny and Lord Bobby. The roles were reversed.
All the boys had seen the British movie, ‘King John, the Mad King.’
“Mommy, can we say off with his head or 500 lashes?” they wanted to know. Mommy told them, “No, you are no different there than you are at home.”
“And no selling of any of the suits of armor, the silverware or anything else, found at the castle,” she reminded them.
At the castle in County of Ashford, the family experienced jet lag. They had flown through five time zones to get there. Her boys took a nap at the castle.
When they were awake, the castle’s staff did not know what to call them.
In the castle’s kitchen, the Danny reintroduced themselves. “You probably do not remember us. We are Billy, Andy, Danny, Jimmy and Bobby Rabb. Mommy told us to behave ourselves, be nice and be ourselves.”
“No selling items, from the castle, Mommy’s orders.” Billy told them. The kitchen staff laughed. They remembered the boys first visit. There was nothing the boys would not try to sell.
Andy asked, “If there was any food, we sure are hungry.” The kitchen staff replied, “We have some pasties, crisps and a cuppa for a yam.”
The boys looked at each other.
Her boys quickly left the kitchen to find their Mommy real fast.
When they finally found their Mommy, her boys said, “We need to go home. Right now! They do not speak English here. We are going to starve,” Andy demanded for his brothers.
Mommy reminded them their food is named differently here. A pastie is a beef or pork pie with potatoes and carrots, not an apple pie. Their beef pies can come with gravy. A hot dog and mashed potatoes is called a banger and mash.
“If the staff said to have a yam, they meant eat something fast and very hungrily.” She told them.
“A Coke or cola is a fizzy drink. A cuppa is a cup of tea. Tea means dinner or supper. Crisps are potatoes chips. Scones are breakfast biscuits. Clotted butter is our butter. A hamburger does not come in a bun unless you ask for a bap. Over here a hamburger is eaten, with a fork
