Peter Cottonswab

I am busy working on work, Dex is busy making an intricate wooden track for his green marbles. He asks me to watch "Peter Cottonswab" go down the track. "Peter Cottonswab?" I ask. "Yes, he's a water drop." "Why would a water drop be called Peter Cottonswab?" I ask. Dex pauses for a moment and walks around in a circle thinking. Then he says, "Well, he comes from a family of water drops and they are all the cottonswab type of water drops and his first name is Peter so he is Peter Cottonswab." I turn back to the computer and hear Dex behind me talking about Peter Cottonswab's wife, Mrs. Peter Cottonswab, taking her turn down the track. This is both distracting AND entertaining.
