24 | He woke up after eleven and didn't go [outside][] all day, not even to his Writing Shack. | ||
25 | What did he do? | ||
26 | |||
27 | He watched late morning cartoons meant for children too young to go to school. | ||
28 | He ate bowls of cereal. | ||
29 | He watched his mother play dominoes. | ||
30 | He played dominoes with her for a little while until she was winning by such a margin it wasn't fun for either of them. | ||
31 | He went down to the basement to do his [laundry][]. | ||
32 | He pulled the chain for the light and it turned on like magic. | ||
33 | "Electricity is like magic" he said to himself. | ||

35 | He'd already built up so much momentum inside. | ||
36 | |||
37 | ---Inertia? he thought. | ||
38 | "What's the difference between inertia and momentum" he asked himself as he hefted dirty clothes into the washer. | ||
39 | "Maybe inertia is the momentum of not moving" he thought as he measured and poured the blue detergent into the drum. | ||
40 | "Momentum is the inertia of moving forward through time" as he selected WARM-COLD on the dial and pulled it out to start the machine. | ||
41 | "What do you think is the difference between inertia and momentum" he asked his mother when he opened the door at the top of the stairs. | ||
42 | |||
43 | "When you switch over your laundry could you bring up my underwear from the dryer" she asked not looking up from her dominoes. | ||
44 | A [thread of smoke][] curled from her cigarette and spread out on the ceiling. | ||
