Father to Son
“Hey, Dad?” said Johnny.
McGee didn’t turn from straightening his bowtie. “Hmm?”
The five-year-old poked at his father’s sleeve. “How come you only wear this when you’re dressed up fancy?”
“Haven’t I ever shown you this?” McGee leaned down so Johnny could see his watch. “Your Grandpa Gibbs gave me this, the day Mom and I got married. His mom gave it to his dad on their wedding day. Maybe someday, I might give it to you.”
Johnny nodded solemnly, “I’ll only wear it for fancy things, too, because it’s a million years old, like you, Dad.”
McGee laughed. “Thanks.”
