We lived in an old house prior to compulsory safety switch installation and the fuses were obviously thick enough to allow the slow cooking of children.

If you want them nice and tender you have to cook them slow.

I think it's cool that small steps is now a biker, no matter the source. That's sort of Grandparents job to spoil the grandchildren.

The only time I remember a gift is when I had mono as a senior in HS. I spent about a week too weak to even lift the covers when I was in bed. When I started to recover a bit my mom brought two magic books hoping to give me something to do that didn't involve exercise. It worked to a point. I can watch a magic show and know how some tricks are done, and I learned to handle cards really well.

I'm really glad that small steps has the bear. That's a good story.
