Shut up Tommy.
I heard it some times.
I didn't know what was going on, but I remember it.
It was so many brothers and sisters saying it, almost in unison.
There must have been a reason.
Tommy could get worked up.
He was so big, he looked liked he could have swatted everyone in the room away with a single swipe.
He didn't.
A gentle giant.
What I heard more often was "hey Tommy."
Hey Tommy can you help with this.
Hey Tommy can you move this.
Hey Tommy can you do this.
I do remember Tommy's voice, but not from any of these requests.
He would just always do it.
Hey Tommy, thank you.
