Oh this was sweet. Love how you write the interaction between all involved.

So lovely...quite apart from the perfect, perfect description of Virgil's 'apple pie' face (which all the Tracy boys appear to have mastered the art of), I do like the idea of some of the 'forgotten' Tracys being explored a little. Oh to be a fly on the wall. Grandma Tracy must have some wonderful stories about Grandpa Tracy...

I've been waiting all day to read this! I got the e-mail notification at work and didn't have time to read on my lunch break. So worth the wait, that was really cute!

Very very nice tag. I think in the new series, Virgil is actually supposed to be tallest and broadest of the boys (I seem to remember that he is described as "tallest and most powerfully built) - which of course would mean nothing when ganged up on by younger (and/or older) brothers.

Truly a lovely little interlude.

I like how you mixed sweet and funny in this story. You've written another great piece. Well done.
