I went to the table and sat down. Everyone was excited for me to tell the events of the day. Except for the Reagan men. Grandpa looked at me and said "Joseph, would you like to say grace?" I said yes, said grace, and then everyone was asking me questions about my experience. I was answering, but I was just poking at my food.
Dad leaned over and said "You wanna go upstairs and talk?" and I slowly nodded. He turned to Grandpa, and said, "Dad, may Xavier and I be excused?"
He nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm about done. I'll be there in a second." Uncle Jamie and Pop said they would too.
Aunt Erin said to Nikki, Mom, Sean, and Jack "Well I guess we are stuck doing dishes." I got up and took my plate to the kitchen. I set it next to the sink and then slowly started up the stairs.
