You know times are changing when what keeps your boys busy at the doctor's office is no longer a copy of Highlights.
It's a copy of Car and Driver.
In related news, Sam's thumbs are fine now. The orthopaedic surgeon as good as said, "All better! Have a nice life!" and popped back out the door to, I don't know, pop someone's shoulder back into socket or something.
Sam has been a little concerned that without his trick thumbs he's no longer special. "I was the only one in the family who could do that!" Jack has a lot of weird double joints and Sam felt a bit left out now that he'd lost his go-to parlor trick.
After a few weeks of trying everything he could think of, Sam realized that on one finger he can do that thing where you bend your finger at the first knuckle only. I'm not sure if you call that double jointed, but it makes him happy.
