Your aunt got your attention all right.
You grabbed the PSP eagerly with both hands, and started inspecting it with delight.

Attempting to erase the marks You saw, You pulled at the bottom of your tee shirt and started to rub the screen furiously.

Dad and Mom grinned from ear to ear.
When was the last time we laughed so much?

Oh, today was a beautiful, beautiful day indeed!
Aunty D took this photo of us.
We spent the afternoon in the Son ...
