I didn’t think anything of this at the time, but when we three sat down to have lunch I figured out that they must have had an argument because they didn’t say a single word to each other while we ate.
However, thankfully, after lunch we walked across town to a park called Library Park. There was a big fountain in the middle of the park with sidewalks radiating out like the spokes of a wagon wheel. There were kids about half my age playing in and around the fountain while parents sat on benches watching. It was at the park that I was finally allowed to run around and enjoy myself.
OK, I need to rewind just a bit because something was happening on the way to Library Park that has impact on what happened when we were actually at the park.
