Tucker has been feeling a bit shafted by the humans lately because his dad who is never around just left again this morning, and his mom who is always cleaning and combing him is all sick and not playing tennis ball towns with him in the nice cold weather. Tucker would be a sad clown, except he really doesn't trust clowns so he would prefer not be associated with them.This morning, Tucker's dad got up early.
Most likely to spend more time playing with him, Tucker thought. But, no. It was to pack his suitcase and leave. Tucker thought this an unfair trick. What if Tucker were on a little league team and his squad had just made the cut for the local playoffs. Would he be able to count on his dad showing up? Would his mother embarrass him in front of the other kids by kissing him and combing his hair? And what if she were overheard by his teammates telling the coach that Tucker is, " a sensitive, handsome boy who is full of love," and that Tucker's mother does not , "appreciate the coach turning her sweet boy into a desensitized, overly competitive goon for the sole purpose of reliving some missed childhood achievement," of the coach.Tucker wonders if his his big brown eyes were deeper then his parents would stop acting like humans and just spend time with him.
