Roof Maintenance

Once upon a time, there was a cute, quaint house made of
gingerbread, covered in sugar and landscaped with treats that made Henry
and Charlie go bat shat crazy with excitement.
But once the bellies were full of high fructose corn syrup and
the sugar crash hit, the boys walked away from their creation
not the least bit worried about roof maintenance.
And so it started to slide.
And slide.
And slide.
Until there was a roof no more.
The neighborhood started to suffer.
And then "Project Housing"* started popping up all
around the once cute gingerbread house.

Family Night in Charlie's classroom.
