Chapter 22: Percy's List
Eugene's back porch smelled of coffee and cut grass at nine on Sunday morning.
A brown dog with one white ear was lying across Nelson's shoes.
Nobody had told me about the dog.
"He's from the county shelter," Eugene said, from his wicker chair. "I was assured he doesn't bite or chew."
"He ate a glove," Nelson said.
"A small one."
Percy had named the dog on the spot.
"Pancake," he had announced, and the dog had licked his entire face.
Now my son sat cross-legged on the porch boards with the grocery receipt from his first list unfolded in front of him.
It was soft as cloth by now, and the crayon had gone shiny.
He put on his serious face, the one he wears for auditing.
"Dad," he said. "I'm going to check the rules."
Nelson put down his coffee and sat up straight.
"Rule one. You can't be late."
"Understood."
"You were four minutes late to parents' night. I counted on the clock."
