The boys gingerly put the parts at a perfect angle, then assembled the whole thing in two shakes that seemed even quicker than professionals. Despite zero communication, they worked in perfect harmony.
Meanwhile, Vania watched from the side the entire time and nodded in satisfaction. Just as I thought.
Their intelligence was on par; James was tech-savvy, whereas Jack was bookish. As for Jacob, well, the boy liked to play dumb, but he also liked everything his brothers did.
Now that there was a brand new toy, she would probably fall out of favor with them.
However, she didn’t want to disturb them from exploring the telescope. With that, she announced lovingly, “Bubba, you guys play with your telescope; I’m going to bed.”
However, her baby boys who usually babied her didn’t respond at all!
Indeed, she really was non-existent when astronomy was in play.
However, just as she turned around to leave, the boys giggled and said, “Goodnight, Mommy.”
“Goodnight.” Vania waved to them and left the boys to themselves.
The following morning, Vania went to her babies’ room after waking up, only to find the place empty.
At that, she immediately knew that they had fallen asleep in their study.
When she checked, she found them sleeping around the telescope.
Not only that, books and drawings of astronomical objects the boys had observed lay next to each of them.
Clearly, the trio had collapsed from exhaustion the night before, and they were now lying in all sorts of crazy positions.
However, Vania wasn’t at all worried. Hey, whatever floats their boat.
