Now it’s an oversized pair of square shorts, standing folded behind a couch for the past three years. Occasionally, still in child mode, the almost-teenager calls the aging father who finds his kid rolled into a yoga ball in a much-too-tiny tent... knees, head and elbow pushing the walls far beyond their limits. “Should I sleep here all night, papa?” a goofy smile balancing the joke and the genuine will to disappear in a sentimental fantasy.
With regret that every moment brings a change and a melancholy but supportive smile, I say “I’ll get you your sleeping bag and book”. I make sure the flashlight has fresh batteries. Just one more night, please, be a little kid.
This is an IKEA Busa indoor play tent. It’s very easy to set up and fold. Although a bigger kid will fit, it’s best for a smaller one.
Cube-ish shape 30”+~
It is soiled with memories, made-up worlds and other inventions and many more to come.
It’s in Coney/Brighton area but I could potentially bring it your way if it’s on my way.
Don’t call at night. That’s when I sit and wonder what this whole thing is.
