PACKRATS AND OTHER HOARDERS

Dennis looked over Charlotte’s shoulder at her bulky pickup list. “Wrecked bicycle. Check. Commodore computer. Wait! Not my bench!”

“Anyone who sits on it risks getting a butt full of splinters.”

“I’ll take my chances.” He sank down. “This is where I used to sing Abby to sleep, help her with her homework, and wait for her to come home from her dates. My claw marks are still on the armrests.”

A small boy crawled onto Dennis’s lap. “I want to sit on Grandpa’s special bench, too.”

Charlotte crossed out bench. “You win.”

Dennis frowned. “Now, about that Commodore computer.”
