Tender

I bought Jack a small rubber ball the other day, yes, we've made all of the possible ball jokes that exist within our universe. Anyway, there is huge satisfaction in the bouncing of a ball. It's a finite sound specific to one thing and it's simplicity is contagious. Most of the boys on the street now have or are in the process of getting a ball for themselves. Gus coveted Jack's ball to the degree that I was concerned he would attempt to destroy it as he has done to many of Jack's toys. In our house, if it's not Griffin it's Gus, he has a compulsion. Do I accept this? No, but I know the reality and that is what you have to contend with so I work within the parameters of nuttytown and buy a ball for Gus too.
