"I have work as always," Vernon replied. "What's wrong? Do you want something? We can always go to any theme park you like on the weekend, you know."
"No, no, it's not about that, Uncle…" Mackie was a little embarrassed because she had never asked her Uncle about this.
Usually, Mommy would attend any teacher-parent meeting, and it had always been like that since she attended preschool.
Her real Daddy never tried to attend any meeting. He also never attended any performance that Mackie had at school.
At first, she thought that her Daddy was just too busy to care about her. But now she realized Uncle Vernon was even busier than Daddy, yet he still tried his best to make time for her and her Mommy.
So this one was a little test that Mackie wanted to do. She wanted to know if Uncle cared enough to attend the teacher-parent meeting even during work days.
