I like the simplicity of this piece. The narration is read too repetitively but I am able to get past this limitation. I love the uncle's voice and the emotional honesty about his Obaltine obsession. The border crossing story is great. I am curious why he loves the product so much? Childhood memories? Family? TV ads? Addressing these background issues may have provided a narrative tie-in.
