They Spoiled Their Special Boy
Travis was treated as a cherished family member, even joining Sandy and Jerry at the dining table during mealtimes. While his breakfast typically consisted of oatmeal, which he adeptly consumed with a spoon, Travis developed a refined and expensive palate. When dining at their favorite restaurant, he particularly relished filet mignon and indulging in lobster and Lindt chocolate delights. Whenever the ice cream truck jingled echoed through the neighborhood, Travis would eagerly tug at Sandy, imploring her to purchase a sweet treat for him. Furthermore, he was free to help himself to juice and soda whenever he pleased.
In moments when Sandy found herself engrossed in a phone conversation, Travis would display his impatience by increasing the volume of the television, determined to capture her attention. These small interactions between Sandy and Travis mirrored the dynamics observed in human relationships. Sandy marveled at the uncanny resemblance between Travis’s behavior and that of a real human, often sharing her fascination with the similarities in brain cells between chimpanzees and humans. Travis truly embodied a unique connection, blurring the boundaries between species and highlighting the depth of their bond.
