Problem – Solving

Grace enjoyed minding Frankie on Wednesday nights.  Frankie was advanced for her four years, with the vocabulary of a young adult, but with the innocence of a child. Frankie’s mum was at Pilates class. Grace always left the porch light on.

They tried to fix Barbie’s left leg; ‘Barbie Pilates’ hadn’t ended well. Grace made them a fruit infusion tea.

“This helps problem-solving, Frankie, “Tea fixes almost everything.”

“Mum drinks wine to do that.”

“Does she? Sometimes wine helps too.”

“ If wine doesn’t work, she rings Uncle Terry.”

“It’s good to have backup.”

“He fixes a few things, mum’s more relaxed when he leaves.”
