Berto's P.O.V.
Papa is happy today. He made a big breakfast for me before we went to mass. We go every week. Sometimes Alicia comes too, but not today.
She wasn't home when I woke up. I checked all over the house.
Papa said not to worry. "She'll be back kid."
"She's not mad?" I asked, just to make sure. "We're not in a fight are we?"
He frowned. "Mad? Why would she be- oh about last night? At dinner?" He laughed and threw me high in the air. "No Roberto! How silly. Roberto the Silly! She loves you." He kissed me on both cheeks and tossed me in the air again. "It's me she fights with, not you."
"But that's okay. She said so," I giggled.
"Oh yeah?" Papa said as he helped me with my tie.
I nod even though it makes it hard for him to make the loops. I don't think he minds cause he tossed me in the air and messed it up in the first place.
"When did she say that?" Papa asks.
"Before. When she first came. She said that even though you make her angry and you fight with her its okay cause it's okay to fight with people you love sometimes."
"She said that?! I knew it!" Papa laughed again and then threw me in the air again.
I just giggled and nodded my head cause I couldn't really do anything else.
"Roberto, you are my gift from God." Papa kept tossing me in the air till he said I was turning green.
"Papa I think you're loco."
"Si. Loco en amorada."
"With Letty?" I am hopeful. Papas should love mamas. My first papa loved my first mama. If Dominic loves Letty then maybe she will be my new mama after all.
"Yes little man, with Letty."
