Personality Profiles
It was back to the books that morning for Francis and Linnea, despite the fact that Mom was still recovering from laryngitis and a terrible cold.
When Collette and Puck arrived that morning, Carrie-Bri was already knitting on the couch again, watching Calculus tapes on the tiny television, which she had set on the coffee table.
During Puck’s morning snack, he called happily down to Trooper (who lay crouched underneath Puck’s highchair waiting for stray snacks), “Hi dog! Good dog. Good dog.”
Around the time of the first algebra session, Francis was sitting at the counter playing the egg slicer like a harp.
“Let me tune it,” said Linnea, who was busy clearing the lunch dishes.
“You can’t tune an egg slicer!” Francis scoffed.
“Yes, I can!”
“Back off!” Francis snorted a laugh.
Once Francis had forgotten about the egg slicer, Linnea began to compose her own tune, which had some sort of Indian-like melody to it.
By the afternoon, Carrie-Bri and Collette were busy researching Myers-Briggs profiles. This continued into the evening once OLeif had also been introduced to the concept. OLeif came away with an ENFP, Carrie was the quite rare INTJ (only 0.8% of females), and Collette registered as an ISTJ or an INTJ. Interesting stews of human characteristics.
Once Rose had returned from work, she pulled out two of her ancient cookbooks.
“Want to help me make cookies for tonight?” she asked Collette.
Soon, the girls had two batches of cookies in the oven — one of orange sugar, and another of sour cream nutmeg. Both were good. Puck also benefited from the spoils.
The ride home spread an orange wedge across the sky into the coming night. Another beautiful winter’s dusk.
