"We'd advise you, don't educate the girl."
"Why not? She's going to be a government too, isn't she?"
"Here we are Izzy." Kentucky gently helped IDC in the chicken coop, smoothing down her dress. IDC glanced around at all the feathered animals before looking up at her papa smiling.
"C'mon, let's get daddy some eggs before he wakes up." Kentucky said pushing his little girl forward and following her as she toddled over to the hen house.
"Kentucky, Georgia. IDC will be a young woman of great beauty and influence, there is no need to..."
"Why can't we educate her?"
IDC stopped at the front of the hen house, allowing Kentucky to open the top exposing the pens. She giggled as Kentucky picked her up, letting her go eye level with the hens.
"Go on Izzy, take some eggs." Kentucky whispered, kissing IDC's cheek and pulling her in further.
"IDC is a girl, Kentucky and Georgia. She won't be the government. Her brother will be educated and be the federal government, IDC will not."
IDC pulled out an egg and held it out to her papa who smiled broadly.
"There you go darlin'!" Kentucky said with a smile, holding out the basket and letting IDC place the egg in. He adjusted his hold on the girl. "Let's count how many, okay?" IDC nodded then reached back into the pen and took out another egg, putting it in the basket.
"Two." IDC announced matter-of-factly. She reached back and grabbed another egg. "Three." Kentucky smiled as IDC took out another egg. "Four!"
"How many eggs Izzy?" Kentucky asked.
"FOUR!" IDC said happily.
"Can you show that with your fingers?" IDC grinned and held out four fingers.
"THAT'S my girl." Kentucky said with a smile putting IDC down. IDC made grabby hands at the basket and the southern man handed it over, the little girl dashing off as soon as it was in her hands.
"Careful baby! You don't want to break any of those!" Kentucky called quickly hurrying after his daughter, locking the pen before following. IDC dashed inside the house where DC sat on the floor scribbling something on a piece of paper and Georgia was at the stove cooking.
"Daddy!" IDC called holding up the eggs to Georgia who smiled.
"Why, thems some good eggs you got peaches." Georgia said with a smile taking the eggs.
"Four!" IDC announced proudly. Georgia counted the eggs in the basket and smiled.
"That's right! There's four." Georgia said proudly. IDC grinned before going to spend time with her brother, just as Kentucky came in.
"You are not educating the girl, is that understood?"
"She's become a master at counting eggs, huh?" Georgia teased as Kentucky approached him, kissing him softly on the lips.
"I'm thinking of pushing her up to five." Kentucky teased.
"Is that understood?"
Georgia kissed Kentucky one more time before putting the basket down on the counter, glancing back at the twins who were occupying themselves.
"They're going to be smarter than we ever were, aren't they?" Georgia said softly, albeit hopefully.
"We understand."
"We'll make sure of it." Kentucky whispered, squeezing Georgia's shoulder and watching the twins play.
