Uncle Luke has a smile on his

Face as he reaches into

Aunt Anne's handbag


I look to Aunt Anne who is

Biting her bottom lip looking

Into her hands

That only means one thing


You didn't


I try to stop myself from laughing

But I cant

When Masie turned sixteen she told

Uncle Luke, she didn't want any photos

Of her, as a baby at the party, he agreed

But told her he would bring them out when

She turned eighteen


Uncle luke never forgets the promises he makes

He takes the photos of Masie from one to seventeen

And puts them onto memo clip holders spreading them

Across the table

Masie will be so embarrassed
