Tyler's Teacher

Later in the evening, I put the completed paperwork back in Tyler’s book bag as he’s getting ready for bed. “Don’t forget to give these to Greg,” I say, then correct myself at the strange look my son gives me. “Your teacher. Mr. Boucher? Make sure he gets these.”


“Sure.” Tyler crawls under the covers on his bed and lays back against his pillows, a favorite storybook in hand. “Read me this one tonight, Daddy.”
