The thing about "decorative" in a science project is really scary. My father's generation put twelve white guys on the moon ... my son's will do what, exactly? So anyway in the course of a hectic shopping foray we find ourselves at one of the Business-class McDonald's franchises, y'know, one with the enclosed playground with the Habitrails and ball bins. Helen just barely kept it together while we placidly munched on our McSickens, then drew me early from my exercise in nutritional mediocrity to go play. For some reason I was a big hit with the kids in the ball tent - I figured out how to flick a ball into the middle of the bin off two left fingers (always a delighted toddler to load my hand for me), and one young boy absolutely delighted in tossing balls at my midriff. I made big dramatic "you got me" groans. Then he and I made a big deal out of refilling the baby bin, which had been emptied by some ill-mannered bigger kids I guess. I'd forgotten all about him and was minding the Helenator, when a young blond thing walked up to me with an unusually open face - and said "Daniel had SUCH a great time playing with you - thank you!" That just made my day.
