Grandma May put down her fork. She was full.
Duncan agreed. “Yes, Sonny is indeed smart.”
“Then why are you buying windmills for him? If you want to buy toys, then buy him some educational toys. There’s no novelty if you only buy him windmills. Can’t you see how he’s more interested in his food?”
Her grandson and his friend were two peas in a pod.
Josh was the exception. His mouth was as crafty as Kevin’s.
Grandma May was not sure if Duncan was interested in Liberty, but she could tell that he was trying to appeal to Sonny. It looked like he was trying to make Sonny call him “Dad”.
Duncan would have thought to himself, ‘I just like Sonny…’
He smiled sheepishly and said, “I’ve never had a child before, so I don’t know what toys children like. Sonny was very happy the last time I gave him a windmill and even let me hold him. I thought he liked windmills, so I bought another one for him.”
Grandma May was speechless.
Did Duncan not know what change meant?
She wondered if her old friend, Old Mrs. Lewis, was angered to death by her grandson, Duncan.
Her nine grandchildren were enough to give her a headache. However, compared to Duncan, she felt that her grandsons were all much better than him.
No comparison, no despair.
Seeing how awkward Duncan was, Liberty helped her son take the windmill from Duncan’s hand and said with a smile, “Sonny still likes playing with windmills. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.”
She motioned for her son to thank Duncan.
Sonny finished all the food in his bowl. After putting down the bowl, he wiped the grease on his mouth with a napkin. Then, he took the windmill from his mother and politely thanked Duncan. “Thank you.”
