@Tyler Shelton, you know, I was not so quick to give the uncles brownie points for just having a pony and presenting it to Owen. And though it doesn’t lead me to say don’t say anything about the uncles, their expressions certainly shows that they do have some affection for Owen. It may even mean any nefariousness they may bring to him is good intentioned, but there’s a well known expression about which route those such paving stones are laid along.
