Uncle Xbox

Every second Saturday, Uncle Max visited Omar’s family. He usually arrived with a cheerful greeting and a small bag of board games. Omar’s little brother, Xavier, called him “Uncle Xbox” because Max loved playing games on a console. One rainy afternoon, Max set up a racing game in the lounge room. Omar and Xavier took turns steering their cars around a bright, winding track. Omar kept crashing at the same sharp bend. She frowned and tightened her grip on the controller. “Try slowing down before the corner,” Max suggested. “You don’t have to rush the whole way.” Omar tried again. This time, she eased off the controls before the bend and guided her car around it. She crossed the finish line in second place. Xavier cheered as if she had won a trophy. After the race, Max put the controllers away. “Games are fun,” he said, “but it’s good to give our eyes and hands a break.” He challenged them to build the tallest tower they could from the wooden blocks in his bag. Their first tower wobbled and fell. Omar noticed that the wide blocks made a steadier base, so she and Xavier rebuilt it from the bottom up. Their tower stood taller than the sofa cushion. Max grinned. “That’s good problem-solving—on screen and off!” When Max left, Omar was already planning their next challenge. She wondered if they could build a bridge strong enough to hold all the toy cars.
