Bazi was not pleased, and she made it quite apparent with the tone of her voice and the expression on her face.  Whit wilted before her, his ears flopping and his head bowing sadly.  He was at a loss now as to how to make her happy, so he went ahead and just answered honestly, completely unaware that doing so was exactly what she wanted.

"'Cause we pay an he stops and gits pants, mama," Whit explained with a little frown, "Pants is boring."  It was not unusual for Swift to pause in the middle of their games to start snatching up whatever plants they had happened upon during their play.  He was always leaving Whit standing there, which was especially annoying when they played hide and seek.  All of these things, he didn't quite know yet how to communicate.  So he repeated obstinately, "Siff likes pants mo' den paying and pants is boring."  Pants were sure getting a bad rap today.
