Yeah, he just needed help w/ a financial document (Dad is severely dyslexic). No family members are dead/dying/sick/missing/horrifically mangled in a freak accident. Him adding “I need your help with something before an appointment” to that text would have saved me an adrenaline dump 😵💫

“The Westing Game” by Ellen Raskin. I read it over & over. Each character had stuff going on that none of the other characters knew, that made them the way they were. Turtle the weird kid, the ignored/dismissed/unfavorite child, solved it all under the radar & won, & nobody even knew she’d won.
