Will you remember how I bought dozens of bananas every week so you could both make experimental smoothies will you remember the story game we played on our walks around the lake and how there was always a character named Kevin will you remember how you each built worlds of Lego in the most inconvenient places and we let you keep them there the whole time so many memories pinned to scenes that will fade but not Joe Wicks the handsome British fitness instructor who does PE classes for the kids on YouTube I am grateful to Joe not because he charms them into doing burpees in our living room on rainy days but because he seems destined to stay famous a face we can still click on years down the road to remind us how surprisingly sweet it was this little slice of time.
