Hart had a spoon-running operation going while I did dishes and mama
and Sevi read “On the Banks of Plum Creek” in her bedroom. Hart
would take a spoon from the dishwasher (after I vetoed forks and
knives) toddle down the hallway with it, offer it to Sugi and Sevi,
then bring it back and put it in the dishwasher, clap, leave the room
for a second, then come back and repeat, sometimes taking more than one.
