The clubhouse is complete. While Johnny and I fixed supper, the kids moved the furniture from the garage all the way around the back into the clubhouse. They didn't think that they could carry it all, but with a little teamwork and Hickey ingenuity, they made it work.
Maddie comes in and says: "Is there anything we could use for a TV?"
Johnny and I look at each other silently, deciding which one of us would make a smart-ass comment.
Johnny: "You mean, something that's not actually a TV?"
I suddenly got what she meant and asked, "Do you mean, like a box cut out to be a TV?"
Maddie: "Yeah, so somebody can be on TV and say [insert serious voice]
So, we get a box and cut out a square. Maddie draws buttons on the TV and takes it out to the clubhouse. They set it in the open window. The kids all take turns sticking their face in front of it, with Liam hogging the face time a little. Maddie runs back into the garage to get something she had seen in there earlier. She comes running back out to the clubhouse.
Maddie: "I got the remote so we can turn Liam off when we get sick of him!"
