Alice: Dill's brothers are building a trebuchet. Wht doesn't Petey build stuff? Mom: Petey made a very nice horse. Head bookend for me once. Mom: I keep it up high on the shelf with all my favorite fragile things. Petey: I pinched my finger doing it, too. See the scar? Alice: Big deal! How many horse head books do we have anyway? Mom: Alice?

Petey also made a ceramic ashtray at summer camp once but everyone has given up smoking.

(I’m in accord with Madeline:) Alice! Petey is a sensitive lad and your protective older brother; try to say something nice, or else shut up!

Well, Alice was and still is profoundly impressed by Dill’s brothers’ trebuchet. She should be forgiven.

Alice is being a Cranky Spanky (It’s what I call my daughter when she is being temperamental).

We have and still use the waterpump light my uncle made back in the 40’s— pull the handle and the light comes on. I never got to do anything cool like that in shop class.
