We spent the morning at Miller’s Lake. It was peaceful until Uncle Tom tried to cast his line and accidentally hooked Dad’s favorite baseball cap, yanking it right off his head! Dad looked so surprised that we both fell over laughing. We didn't catch many fish—only three small ones—but Dad said the "company was better than the catch anyway." Who remembers this one

The first half of the story details the mundane yet magical minutiae of the morning: Dad forgetting his keys, Uncle Tom telling the same joke about a parrot and a pirate, and a chaotic trip to the local hardware store where the narrator spills a box of nails. Robins’ genius lies in her observations. She writes, “Dad’s forehead gets a red wrinkle when he’s counting money. Uncle Tom’s nose scrunches when he smells paint.” Do you remember Sheila Robins
