Max’s Eureka moment

Last week, when the drywallers put up the first pieces of drywall, some of the ceiling pieces had foot prints on them.  (See pictures in the previous post) Max and Lucy were baffled.  They asked how the workers could walk on the ceiling and the walls.  I told them they must have special boots.

A few days later, on Sunday, as we were looking at the progress, Max told me that he knew how the footprints were on the ceiling.  In a hushed voice, as if to guard state secrets, he said ‘They walk on the pieces when they are on the floor.’  I congratulated him on good thinking. 

I wonder if he had an ‘a-ha!’ moment in the middle of the night when the solution came to him?  Did he sit up in bed and go back to sleep satisfied?
