Read this passage from "An Hour with Abuelo” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. Then with her pushing the wheelchair – maybe a little too fast – they roll down the hall. He is already reading from his notebook, and she’s making bird noises. I look at my watch and the hour is up, to the minute. I can’t help but think that my abuelo has been timing me. It cracks me up.

The way he feels about the nursing home has changed
