raze
gavin
wants
to
play
. "
you're
interrupting,"
paul
says
.
he
needs
to
walk
around
in
the
back
yard
and
throw
things
into
other
things
and
slam
the
door
.
he
calls
this
"
working
".
he
tells
gavin
he
can
stand
inside
the
house
and
look
out
the
window
.
when
gavin
doesn't
want
to
do
that
,
paul
tells
him
he's
grounded

says
it's
because

his
bad
attitude
.
after

anymore
,
he
tosses
a
baseball
into

gets
it
right

hurls horsehide-wrapped
rubber
at

says
, "
play
ball

doesn't
want

play
ball
,"
