A Day With Dad And Uncle Tom By Sheila Robins 11yo 63 !!link!! Jun 2026

Dad and Uncle Tom were brothers, but they couldn't have been more different. Dad was quiet, with hands calloused from the garden and a steady way of moving. Uncle Tom was like a whirlwind. He wore a sharp fedora, drove a shiny blue sedan that smelled like peppermint and expensive tobacco, and always had a joke ready to tell. When they were together, they turned back into boys, laughing about things that happened twenty years ago. The plan for the day was simple: we were going to the lake.

Yesterday was a very fun day for me. I went to the zoo with my dad and my Uncle Tom. We left the house early in the morning. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. a day with dad and uncle tom by sheila robins 11yo 63
