One day, while I was staying at my friend Dave’s house with him and his mother (who I call Aunt Karen), he was at one of his music lessons, and Aunt Karen was going out to do some shopping. “Would you do me a favor while I’m gone?” she asked me.
“Of course,” I replied, “anything!”
“There’s a basket of laundry in my walk-in closet,” she said. “Will you fold it and hang it while I’m gone?”
“Sure!” I said.
She gave me one of her big warm hugs and said, “Thank you. You’re such a sweetheart!”
