Max sat up. “Yes, you are, Dad. You’re great!”

Dad fiddled with a green plastic squirrel named Knut that had been perched on the end table beside him. “I don’t like making mistakes, especially big mistakes that everyone can see. Or hear.”

Max understood this. He was better at dribbling a basketball in the driveway at Mom’s than he was at school with his whole class watching. But Mr. Sherwin, his P.E. teacher, said the only way to get better was to practice with other kids around, and eventually he would forget people were looking.

Max told Dad what Mr. Sherwin had said.

“Has it worked?” asked Dad.

“I’m a lot better at dribbling. I’m a little better about forgetting that people are looking.”

“Hmm,” said Dad. It was the hmm sound Dad made when he was really thinking about something. He stretched his arm along the top of the couch, and Max leaned back like he had before. They sat there for a while, and Max closed his eyes. It felt good. It wasn’t even boring.

“You two moving in?” A salesman in a bright blue shirt was standing over them.
