“Can I try it?” Saxon asks.
“Of course you can,” Cutter says.
He steps back and Saxon jumps in.
He jumps to his toes to fully see over the pinball machine.
Cutter leans against the pinball machine next to the one Saxon is using. He looks at me and nods. He folds his arms.
I just stand there.
“Okay, I think I got this,” Saxon says. “Watch…”
Cutter looks at the pinball machine. “Get it on the left paddle.”
There are beeps from the machine and then Saxon smacks the top of it.
“Darn!” Saxon yells.
“Don’t give up,” Cutter says.
Cutter swipes a card and the pinball machine comes right back to life.
He then looks at me.
I see the cocky smirk on his face.
Probably wondering if I’m going to demand that I pay him back for the arcade costs.
Saxon pulls the lever and a pinball flies up into the game.
I take a few steps closer to the game.
“Now don’t just leave the paddles as is,” Cutter says. “You might have to grab the ball and hold it.”
The little silver ball smacks the right paddle as Saxon moves it.
The ball goes up and to the left.
“There you go,” Cutter says.
The pinball falls into the crook of the left paddle.
Saxon looks at Cutter. “I did it!”
“Sure you did. Now think where you want to send that pinball flying.”
Saxon turns his head and looks up at me. “Mom, you should check this out. Cutter is a genius at this. Ready for this?”
Saxon sticks his tongue out and lowers the paddle and then hits the button with all his force.
The pinball hits a metal ramp within the game and jumps into the mouth of a zombie. The ugly face lights up and there are horrid screams from the machine.
“Bonus!” Saxon yells. “I’ve never done that before!”
Saxon turns and throws out his right fist for Cutter.
Cutter gives him a gentle fist bump.
