"What Happens after the Baby Goes to Bed" (Or, "The Box of Insanity")

The house quiets after 20 minutes of screaming and crying from the baby's room. Finally,
a moment of peace for two very tired parents.

"What should we do tonight?"
"Uh, I don't know."
"TV? Movie? Go to bed early?"
"Mmm, that last one sounds good... wait, it's only 7:42. Shoot."
"I guess I'll load something up on the computer."
"Hey, we still have that puzzle that I got for you at Jusco."
"Oh yeah. Let's do it!"

The playing card-sized box is opened and spilled onto the table.

"Hey, did you know there are tweezers included in here!?"









"Wow... these pieces are really small. Good thing there are only 204 pieces."










"Oh, this won't take too long."

Husband: "I'm going to use the tweezers for the whole puzzle!" (Wife rolls her eyes.)
















An hour later...

Inserting the last piece, "We are never doing this again."










"I have a headache. Let's go to bed."

Haha, nothing says "provactive" like spending an evening over a tedious minature puzzle set from Jusco with adorable matching tweezers. Kagota has never seen such scandalous activity!
