He turned the entire living room into an airport, complete with a four-foot-high LEGO traffic control tower and a fleet of paper planes, plastic army pilots taped safely into their cockpits. From deep beneath the couch, a large utility flashlight illuminates some sort of...landing strip? I crouch down for a better look.

Stuck to the carpet in parallel, unbroken paths from one wall to the other are two lanes of brand-new maxi pads.
