A small child, maybe three years old, sits on the floor of a living room that has committed fully to the decorating philosophy of its era: the curtains alone contain more pattern than most rooms would attempt in their entirety. Someone dressed the child in a bow tie for this occasion, which means someone believed the occasion warranted a bow tie — a calculation parents of the 1950s made more often than is remembered. To the child's right sits a television set in its wooden cabinet, the piece of furniture the whole room was quietly reorganizing itself around, though the people who bought the curtains had not quite admitted that yet. The television would win.
