Kevin is an eccentric person whom most adults find a little
odd. They even gave him the nickname "Spacey," referring to his somewhat
absent-minded and quirky behavior. According to them, his hobbies and
passions only last for a few months. Despite this, his oldest sister and her
husband still indulge him. However, they often speak negatively about him to
their children, but they never turn him away. Perhaps they feel sorry for
him since he lives alone, divorced and childless. Many of their friends ask,
"Which woman can put up with him?"
Kevin's visits are always exciting, especially for the children. On one
occasion, he surprised them with an assortment of creatures, including a
snake, an iguana, a frog, hermit crabs, and different kinds of slugs, which
he intended to sell in his future pet shop. Although Kim banned them from
the house, the children played with them in their tiny garden, and Kevin
taught them many interesting things about those creatures.
However, as expected, Kevin's attention soon shifted to a new hobby,
cooking. He showed up one weekend wearing an apron and a chef's hat, loaded
down with a pile of vegetables, spices, and cooking utensils, announcing
that he was their chef for the weekend. Despite Kim's skeptical attitude,
she did not stop him from cooking in her kitchen. Kevin chased his sister
out of the kitchen but allowed the little ones to stay and watch. He washed,
chopped, sliced and heated up several pots and pans while entertaining them
by parodying Bollywood movie scenes.
The children's favorite part of the cooking sessions was when they tasted
what Kevin was preparing. Some of the dishes tasted strange, but every time
someone grimaced, he asked for suggestions on how to improve the recipe. At
the dinner table, the tastier dishes were quickly eaten up, and the less
popular ones were finished by Kevin himself, leaving nothing to waste. After
each meal, his sister made sure the children helped with the dishes.
Kevin even announced that he wants to start a restaurant, which his
brother-in-law doubts will ever happen. Nevertheless, the children are
looking forward to his next visit.
In conclusion, Kevin's eccentric behavior may seem strange to most adults,
but to the children, he is exciting and unpredictable. He may jump from one
hobby to another, but each time, he finds a way to involve the children in
his latest passion. Despite his unconventional ways, Kevin is beloved by the
children, and they eagerly await his next visit. |
