My grandma got the confirmation. I started crying. She said “Oh Swi. Mommy wants you to just have a good time with us in Arizona. ” I said crying “I will. ” My grandpa said “Swi, there will be no pretending down in Arizona. ” I said crying “Why?”  He said sarcastically “Okay” and rolled his eyes. I said excitedly “Yes! Grandma loves my stories!” He said sarcastically “Whatever. Apparently, our vacation is going to be about this Barbie Radisson. My heart kind of hurts right now. ” I said “Who says that I can’t go back with you?” David said “Swi, do you want to go to Arizona with Grandma and Grandpa Madison?”

I said crying. Before I could talk, David said “No Arizona for you. No Minnesota Timberwolves party either. ” My grandpa said “I agree. No Timberwolves party at Ryan’s in April when we come home. I am telling Stella and your parents. ” The next night Grandma and Grandpa Madison went back to Arizona. I just cried. Stella said “No fun party tomorrow for you. ” David said “I was looking forward to going to Henry’s too. ” I said crying “I want to go back to Arizona with Grandma and Grandpa Madison. ” She said “It’s 8:00 now. Their flight left at 7:30. ”

Stella said “It’s too late to get to the airport now. ” I said crying “Can’t you book Robbie and me a flight?” She said to herself “I am going to go book them a flight to Phoenix that leaves tomorrow. I am supposed to go to  Elko with Melanie  Saturday night anyway. ” I said excitedly “Awesome!” She said “You need to deal with me tonight, okay buddy?” I said “Okay. I can  handle that. ” She said “Thank you buddy old pal Swi. ” I said “I am excited. ” She said “Good. I am glad. ” sarcastically. I said “What’s wrong?” Me and Robbie went to Arizona.
