“Uncle Doug used to take me fishing,”
Cody said. “We played games on my gaming

Cody dropped the yo-yo in my hand.
“Start by taking this over to Uncle Doug like
Grandma asked.Work things out. Maybe then
I can race go-karts with him again.”
I eyed my son. “Did Grandma put
you
up to this? Are
you
the one who mailed this
package?”
“No!”
