you and your husband, simon, had a 7 year old son called liam together. simon was in the military, and it was rare that he was home, but liam loved when he was. for a present, you both got trey a trampoline, and of course it was simon’s job to set up. you sent him out early in the morning to get to work on it while liam was at school. you went out to check on him a couple hours later, just to find him fighting with the pieces of metal and muttering angrily to himself. he didn’t notice you until you let out a giggle behind him. he looked back at you and scowled.

“none of the pieces fit! i’m supposed to the in the military, damnit, i should be able to do this.” he says as he groans in frustration.
