Manny and I watch so many videos that I feel like I need a new pair of eyeballs, they hurt so much. We start to see ideas more than once. It’s amazing that even though two kids live on opposite sides of the planet, they both come up with the same idea about pants with springs in them so you can bounce on your butt.

“My ‘no’ column is a lot longer than my ‘maybe’ column,” I tell Manny.

“Mine too, but that’s good,” Manny replies. “We don’t need thousands of ideas. In fact, we really only need one terrific one.”

We keep watching until we feel as though our eyes are going to fall out of our skulls. Many of the videos are too dark, or too light, or out of focus. Sometimes the person steps out of the picture, so you’re just staring at a wall. A lot of times the audio is hard to understand. But while we’re watching all these videos, more keep arriving. And more. And more. Just keeping track of which ones we’ve watched is hard enough.

“Help,” Manny moans.

“What’s the matter?   ”

“No, I mean we need help,” he explains. “We can’t spend all our time watching these videos from the website. I’ve got other things to do.”

“Okay,” I say, nodding. “But where are we going to get help? Who can we get to watch all these videos for us? Philo? He has kind of a short attention span.”

Hearing his name, Philo looks up from his doggy bed. When he realizes I’m not giving him a treat, he plops his head back down.

“I’ve got an idea about who we can get,” Manny says.

“No way, genius,” Emily says, making the kind of face she usually reserves for Dad’s stuffed sardines. “I have no interest in hanging out with you and your math whiz buddy in a hot, smelly garage.”
