Then the father acquires a concrete mixer, and before long, the children are joining him in his work. “It’s simple, our father explained to Grandma, when you want to use the oven, just unplug the fridge and it won’t fry the fuses anymore.” (The older child - twelve years old or so - narrates.) For instance: he replaces their wood-burning stove with an electric range which, when it’s turned on, overloads the circuit. He has no particular talent for this endeavor, though it consumes him. The father is a tinkerer and a junk collector hell-bent on modernizing - that’s the word they use - the family and their home. Start with a family: a mother, a father, two children. Listen, language is no more stable or fixed than anything else - youth comes to mind health a sense of comprehension.
