idk how people who are able are not constantly, when at home, slinking around quiet as a mouse, from activity, to task, to seating, to get a snack, and so on, idk how they live.

"how quietly can I operate this latch? How softly can I close this door?" I think to myself.

"how delicately can I step–no, pad–across the room without dragging or stomping my feet. how can I coordinate my limbs like a little dancer?”

then the parents stay with us for the holidays.
