I forget how it got started, but somehow Alice learned that Zac had his old boy scout uniform and badges up in the attic. Whenever we would mention the attic for some other reason, Alice would ask if Zac would get out his boy scout badges to show her. But whenever she asked, we'd always be in the middle of something, or needing to rush off. Finally, she asked at the right time, and I told Zac, "You know, you probably have a fairly short window in life here where your daughter is interested in your old boy scout badges. You should probably seize this opportunity." So he did.
