and ended up on the streets.

Teresa and Frank adopted him five years ago.

And the boy is Kaleb,

adopted in Uganda when he was four.

Jordan. Hi, I'm Sally.

I'm so sorry about your parents.

Thank you.

I loved your mother very much.

So did we.

Hi.

- I'm Kaleb.

- Hi, Kaleb,

I'm Sally. It's wonderful to meet you.

- Hi.

- Hi, Sung Lee, I'm Sally.

I was your mommy's good friend.

- This is Javier.

- Hi, Javier.

- Hello.

- It's good to meet you.

You must be Jordan. I'm Jason. Hi.

That troublemaker must be Kaleb, huh?

I'm not a troublemaker.

All right, throttle back. I was just kidding.

So you're all going to come and stay with us.

Would you like that?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Hey, you.

How are those bunk beds coming along?

Oh, you know, academy, MIT, Collier Trophy...

- What could possibly go wrong?

- Yeah, right.

Yeah, what could go wrong?

Jason, how are we going to do this?

I mean, even for a week? I...

My mom, you know, she was great.

I don't know how she did it.

I just didn't pay attention, I guess.

- Guess I was just so focused on myself...

- I know.

Tell me about. All I wanted to do is fly,

and once I did, I never looked back.

That's them. They're here.

Hi, Dorothy.

- Hi, everyone.

- Interesting place...

Yeah, it's a little tecked out,

but it's my studio.

- Yeah, we live upstairs.

- Uh-huh.

Thank you, Auntie Sally.

"Auntie" Sally?

Ugandan custom.

Don't use "Mr." and "Mrs." so much.

You've got a lot of stuff.

Oh, let's not play that right now.

- Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!

- All right, I'm letting you go.

Why don't we go upstairs?

Here. Let me help you with this.

Okay, guys, just follow me, all right?

See you soon.

Thanks, Dorothy.

You're welcome, Jordan.

Okay, so I have identification,

travel visas and medical for you,

- and here is information on Uganda.

- Oh. Good idea.

What are you making?

Something resembling a smoothie.

And even if this is a temporary arrangement,

it's important

that they transition as quickly as possible.

So I've made appointments for you

at two schools in your area,

elementary and high school.

Great.

- I don't want any of that.

- Are you sure?

It's really good. It makes you all happy inside.

You and I both know

Jason and I aren't cut out for this.

We don't want these kids to get attached,

so the sooner we can find them

another family, the better.

It's not easy to place

the four of them together,

but I do have some leads,

so I'll call you as soon as I can.

- Appreciate it.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

So this looks like an interesting game.

What's it called?

Omweso.

It's the national board game of Uganda.

How do you play?
