A plain and disgusting character would be his brother Hank. He always belched the alphabet backwards every morning at breakfast and threatened to ____________in Anthony's cereal if he didn't applaud. Like spit is a good mix with milk! Yuck!

After the interesting breakfast, Anthony's mom said they were going to visit his favorite uncle, Uncle Lou. He hadn't seen him since his grandma's funeral 3 months ago. Uncle Lou could not be ___________ by anyone, as he just hung his head, with tears flowing, anytime anyone tried to talk to him.

Whenever someone could talk with him, Uncle Lou only spoke in Spanish, as he was the only one left in the family who was _________in Spanish.

As Anthony _________down Uncle Lou's street, he spotted a familiar figure walking just as slowly toward him.

His uncle yelled out, "How are you Anthony?" and he let out a loud __________. Anthony always loved his weird laugh as it reminded him of Spongebob's crazy laugh.

They went into his house. Anthony was never surprised at the __________amount of things he had in his house. We sat down on the 2 chairs he had, which was all he had in his entire house!

As they sat down, Anthony couldn't help but admire the baseball __________. Along with the baseball he had gloves, a broken bat, and pictures of himself in a baseball uniform. Stuff to remember his playing days by!

"What is that?" Anthony asked. "I played for the Cubs 30 years ago," he said. "I don't want to be ______ and brag, but I batted 500," smiled Uncle Lou.

For the next 3 hours, Uncle Lou told stories about his exciting baseball career. Anthony enjoyed it so much and he didn't even find it _________when his Uncle repeated some of the stories several times. Anthony was excited as he had found his person to write for his English assignment. He couldn't wait to impress everyone with his story.

Later, he forgot to ask him about all of his missing furniture. There must be another story to this. IT took him a month to get the _________to ask what happened to all of his furniture.

He said, "After I quit baseball, I had trouble paying rent, so my landlord took my sofa for rent. When he saw my furniture was so nice, the ___________old man liked it so much that he raised my rent each month. Each month when the rent was due he would take pieces of furniture each month. When he started eyeing my waterbed, I decided to move here. I really liked having all the free space, so I never bought anymore."
