happy birthday bob! @thesntry
andie has a stuffed animal¹ tucked under her arm, kind of like how one holds a football. it droops, it's long tail swinging towards the ground in time with andie's own movements as she peers into the doorway. “hi bob! i heard it's your birthday,” her grin is as excitable as always as she swings the dragon into her arms and close to her chest. “so . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY. i got this for you.” over the past few days andie has carefully pulled apart the side seam, filled the toy with weighted beads, and sewn it back up again good-as-new to make a 2-foot-long weighted dragon for bob. it looks sleepy and kind — just like him. “i know you might not want to do much, but i'm not letting you get by with no gift!”
