B comes into the study. Pulling B closer, J points at dad.
J: See the cracks.
B (sternly): You have not been using the moisture lotions like I told you, right?!
J: Incorrigible!
Dad is reading an article on the desktop monitor. J crawls under the table, pulls dad's right hand, plays with it, and lets go.
An unmistakable plastic tearing sound of adhesive tape from under the desk rings out.
Dad: What are you doing?
J: I will tape up the cracks so you feel better.
