The string felt strange, wrapped around her hands and fingers as it was. She gazed at the pattern curiously, and then glanced back up at O'Connor.
"Uncle Charlie, why's the game called Cat's Cradle?" Leawyn asked, her four-year-old mind trying to comprehend. "There's no catses and no cradles."
O'Connor chuckled. "I don't know why, sweetheart. But if you turn your hands upside-down, you'll see the cradle."
"Oooooh," Leawyn cooed, as she twisted her hands. "Okay."
Once she was resettled, O'Connor pinched the two spots where the strings crossed, pulled them out, down and around, pulling the string off of Leawyn's hands and onto his own. "This is called Diamonds. You can get the candles if you pinch the crosses and do the same thing I did: pull them up, out, down and around."
"Otay." Leawyn grinned. "Pinchie, up, out, down an'round," she sang, following the instructions. "This is kinda fun!"
O'Connor grinned. "I thought you'd like it."
