“What’s that?” Adam asks, mid-fork-to-mouth motion. He scrunches up his face and then shrugs. “Oh, right. It’s just the spider web.”
One can never be sure if this is reality or a play world, so I follow-up, “What spider web?” “That one. Right there.” He juts his chin upward and continues to eat. I look up, seeing nothing. “Like… a real one?” “Yeah,” Nathan pipes in. “It’s right there.” Finally I see it, waving to us from the corner of the ceiling. Right where the dropdown which covers out air ducts meets the wall. “So it is,” I sigh. “I guess someone should go around and hunt for spider webs. I’m sure there are more.” “Yeah, that one’s been there for like hundreds of days,” Adam quips. So there it is. An insight into our lives in a mere 60 seconds. Our house is filled with boys, laughter, and spider webs that hang around for hundreds of days. Enter at your own risk.
