The Christmas show was okay. It was fun to see farm animals on the front lawn of the church in the city, and to see people dressed up like Bible characters. Some of the shepherds and angels were kids, like me. But, it was also kind of boring. There was a lot of singing and sitting and standing and sitting. Kind of like going to church, but outside, in the snow.
Uncle Rafe had his arm around my mom, and my mom was kind of cuddled into his side like he was keeping her warm. People think kids don't notice these things, but of course we do. I saw them kissing, and Uncle Rafe had been sleeping in Mommy’s room. And he sent her roses, and it wasn’t even Valentine’s Day. A big vase of roses, as fat as a bush!
Uncle Rafe is in love with my mommy.
I looked up and studied his face. He look
