Do you know that that is? That is the sound of Bub helping the Bean fix a ‘hole’ in their bunkbeds (a knot in the wood). Both of them wet from showers, one in pajamas, one rejecting clothing (can you guess which?). She requested his assistance, the bucket of plastic “tools” between her legs. She had the “scissors” which her brother informered her were actually flat nose pliers. He picked up the screw driver, making that noise, pretending to fix the hole for her. I looked on in amazement. I wanted bedtime to happen, we were in a groove, and they’d taken a detour, but I just could not bring myself to divert them back to our routine. In that moment, in my awe, there was just nothing else in the world more important.
