Four—Secret Portrait Painter
Grami pulled into the driveway at home and parked the car. Then she and Aimi carried the groceries into the kitchen. They hadn’t even had time to put all the food away when the candy red cell phone rang.
“Please answer the phone, Aimi,” said Grami. “My hands are full.”
Aimi heard Toni’s voice saying, “Is that you Aimi? I’m calling to tell you that we’ll be home next week from our camping trip.”
“That’s good,” said Aimi. I have lots and lots of things to tell you about DJ, the real live painter, and Solly, the real live chimpanzee.”
“The what?” asked Toni. “The reception isn’t very good here...” And then the phone went dead.
“Oh, well,” said Aimi. “I’ll tell them all about everything when they get home.”
