I touched the crocodile-rabbit’s little nose.

“My tuba lesson is at ten tomorrow,” Martin said. “I’ll drop off Edward before I go.”

“Great!” I said. “Ed, give me five!”

Edward put up his paw and we high-fived.

“It’s Edward,” Martin said. “Not Ed.”

I’m not sure, but I think maybe Goofy groaned.

Goofy and I went back to the porch. I was cold.

On account of I didn’t have my sweater anymore.

It was ugly and itchy. But it sure was warm.

“Roscoe,” Mom said, “where’s your sweater?”

“I—” I swallowed. “I, uh, took it off.”

Which was true.

True-ish.

“It’s chilly out here,” Mom said. “You really need it.”

“Goof and I are going in now, anyway,” I said. “I think he’s had enough learning. See you, Mom.”

Goofy and I ran inside. I closed the door behind me.

In the hallway was a picture of me and Max and Hazel and my grandma and grandpa at a baseball game.

I thought about Grandma knitting all those furry little animals and smiley faces.

It probably took her a very long time.

She’d made that panda special. Because I was in the Panda reading group.

Martin would never even know that.
