Highchair, in his imagination and as needed.

1. "Oh, the highchair!" I didn't expect it to arrive this week and the sight of the box makes me smile. The delivery man smiles right back.

2. In Alec's imagination the abandoned bowling green is a hippopotamus pond and the box-edged square of the tiny Italian Garden is a maze that Granny can get lost in.

3. My mother stays until the house is tidy and everyone  is calm (this is mainly directed at me).
