-And here’s the pantry.
-What’s with these marks on the wall?
-We marked our son’s height each year.
-What… what happened between these two marks?
-Our son grew a lot between ages 12 and 13.
-This is a nine foot difference.
-Well, that’s our boy.
-I noticed there’s no 14.
-We ran out of wall.
-So that’s why there are marks along the side of the house.
-That only bought us another year.
-Is your son… unwell?
-He’s absolutely gigantic if that’s what you’re asking.
-Must be hard for him to move around.
-Oh, he doesn’t move around.
-So he’s here now?
-The boy is always here.
-If we buy the house, will the boy–
-There is no house without the boy. The boy is the foundation. The house rattles to his heartbeat.
-I was gonna ask about that.
-So is it a deal?
-This is tough….but we just can’t turn down a free house.
