That Creative Aunt of Yours

Dear Rai, it is quite normal for all families to have members with different interests, skills, and lifestyles. Some families are even lucky enough to have some eccentric family member that makes all gatherings a little more interesting. Your Mom's family has no lack of characters. Every family member on that side has their own, very unique personal story.
Last weekend, your Mom's wonderful Aunt Gayle came down from Cottage Grove, Oregon to visit for a couple of days. I've heard so many stories about Aunt Gayle, but one theme keeps presenting itself and that is: puppets. Aunt Gayle has a life story that seems to be just one puppet show after another. So, when she came to visit you on Sunday morning, she arrived with a friend. Rosco, the puppet.
Seeing the look in your eyes as Rosco spoke to you, I knew then and there that it would be a very good idea if we got a puppet too and used it to entertain and communicate with you. Who's to say when a puppet becomes an object devoid of life in an infant's eyes. All I know is that during those minutes with Aunt Gayle, you were convinced that that furry creature was alive and talking with you!
