When I was laid off in the last recession I would pick up my daughter and my friend’s son from preschool. My friend isn’t know for his mechanical expertise–he’s an amazing musician, but you do not want him working on your car. Or water heater. Or, well, anything that requires tools, which was good as he didn’t own any.
One morning I picked up the son and we headed over to True Value to pick up some parts to make a clothes rack.
“What’s this place?” he asked quizzically.
“True Value. It’s a hardware store.”
He furrowed his brow and and answered:
“I’ve never been here before!”
