"Mommy is better at sewing," Alden noted.
"I know, right? Let's not leave amateurs to handle this important job. We'll ask for her help when she's done with her call. How about we do another part meanwhile, one that doesn't involve sewing? Oh, I got an old floatie; I thought we'd make your horn with it!"
