The Tradition

This year, Uncle Frank and Aunt Teresa have dinner ready early and call everyone to eat.

“What about the ______? Luis asks.

“I wouldn't know how to drive a car," says Aunt Teresa.

“I wouldn't know how to turn a paperclip into a safety pin," adds Uncle Felix. “That sure saved the day at Edna's wedding (婚礼)!” Everyone laughs and smiles at each other at the reminder of that well-known family story.
