As Luca walked over to the garage. I followed him that afternoon. Ricky greeted us. The pair of us are wearing coveralls. Everything is laid on the bench. It is laid out in order of usage.
I am passing him all the things that he needed for Black Betty.
"Why are you teaching me how to do this?" I asked him.
"It's something that you need to know how to do," my brother replied.
Eventually I joined him in the undercarriage. He showed me how to change the oil. Ricky is laughing in the corner. I know what you're thinking, Ricky.
Both of us went into the building. I washed my hands. Luca did the same thing in our locker room. He walks off to find his teammates. As I hang out in the kitchen. Snacking from our cabinets.

Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv shows with the group. I walked over to his room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.
Luca taught me how to maintain his Black Betty. Wow, that must've been hard for him. He is very particular when it comes to other people and her. Maybe he will make a Storytime out of it for you. Okay, I will ask him about it.
