Back in early July in London, I saw these two brothers walking with their father after school. They’d gone to the grocery store, and the dad held a package of cherry tomatoes while the younger boy held pocky sticks and another candy. The older brother seemed too busy spraying his younger brother with water to help carry the groceries, until I looked more closely at his backpack. In the pocket usually meant for his water bottle, he’d slipped a long English cucumber. By putting the cucumber in his backpack, he made sure his hands were unobstructed and free to spray his younger brother with as much water as he could. Creatively, he’d found a way to maximize his advantage in a brotherly competition, while still contributing to grocery transportation.
