“I am sorry to inform you over the phone, but your uncle has passed,” his somber attorney said. “The will-reading is tomorrow at his country estate.”
“I’m in his will?”
“Yes.”
Surprising, considering we weren’t close. During my last visit, we argued over vegetable gardening. “Before traveling, do you know what I’m getting?”
“Can’t say.”
At the reading: “To my nephew, I leave the crate of priceless heirlooms in my study.”
I rushed to the study. The crate, adorned with a large smiley face, contained dozens of multicolored tomatoes. The affixed note read, ‘See, I told you my heirlooms were priceless!’
Terrific play on words, and this flows seamlessly. Kudos!
Shoshauna,
