BUNGLED
After having dinner and the champagne Joan and Jacky took all the dishes to the kitchen, leaving both of the men at the dining table.
Father and son walked toward the window, warmed up against the cold with the fireplace blazing nearby. The previous night they were at his uncle's house opening presents. As usual, he got some books while his cousins got socks, his father another pipe, and Joan, a mini-primer. Jacky received more: a dress, books, a watch, and bangles of all colors.
JC saw three boys riding on a sled. In their yard, two of them were throwing snowballs. There was a snowman in the middle facing his direction. He winked and threw a smile as if the snowman was alive.
