P is for Phone Charlie was an active thinker. He paced, he gestured, he drew cute li'l analogies (sometimes literally).
Alan was used to Charlie being lost in thought, but there was something different about his younger son this evening. The pacing seemed more frantic than usual. And he wasn't working on anything. After the eighth time that Charlie wandered back into the house from the garage, Alan decided that he'd had enough and grabbed his son's arm.
