Joe Delaney sneered at his friends. "That's just a dumb superstition."
"My brother says it works. He buried one of Janet Toomis' shoes here and she slept with him a week later."
Joe looked away from Toby Atkins, down at his little brother, Kenny. Only five, Kenny gripped a rubber dinosaur in one hand and picked his nose with the other.
"Go play," was all Joe said.
"You guys are morons. You think if you buried half a girl's sandwich in this hill, she'll fall madly in love with you?"
"If your love is true. If you really, really want it." Toby added.
Joe turned away. He had had enough of fools. He scooped up his brother on his way back down the hill. He didn't notice that Kenny didn't have his toy any longer.
And Joe knew how much Kenny loved that little plastic T-Rex.
