Our youngest LOVES tape. He thinks it’s a “Band-aid.” They all have gone through entire rolls of the stuff, taping up everything in sight. There’s just something about tape.

Yes, that’s what the “bye” was for—-sometimes it’s “move.”

Certainly I’ve found a little tape useful at moments when a quick fix was needed and I had to find a fast solution…..

Was the “bye mom” because he wanted to play alone? Whenever I go to PJ’s room, if he doesn’t need anything from me he says “shoo, shoo, go away daddy.”

If, on the other hand, he needs me for whatever, be it fix the computer, help him pass a difficult stage in a video game, or help him look for a missing remote control, then he welcomes into the room with open arms.

As soon as whatever brought me into the room is resolved, “shoo, shoo, daddy go away.” He’ll say thank you only when he feels like it.

I personally have a great affection for gaffa tape (cloth tape that musicians and theatrical folk use)
Fixing things that have been forced or broken is the usual, but I remember a time when it held a nappy on a recalcitrant trainer, and yes, kept laces tied on someone who wanted to go barefoot down the street.

Boo prefers band-aids or sticky plasters to fix all his woes.

Another charming story Kristina, thanks.
