"Uncle Aaron! Hey!" I called, squishing my face against the glass of the window. "Were you scared?"

He chuckled and got up to let me in. Once I got inside, I started throwing hits at his punching bag. "You want that? Huh?"

"Tomorrow, find that guy. Walk up to him and be like", he started, putting his hand on my shoulder. "Hey."

I laughed, pushing his arm away
