(Automatically Eddie wishes that there were cars here that they could practice on. For just a brief, fleeting second, Eddie feels a dull ache for his father. It isn't the first time that he wonders what his life would have been like had Frank (Eddie only connects their names just then, but oh, did it mean anything? Maybe...maybe not) Kaspbrak lived long enough to see his only child grow up. Maybe he would have taught Eddie to be a better boy. Maybe he would have taught him how to fix cars and tell his mom to lay off.
But Frank's not wrong. They both definitely seemed to enjoy being useful. Not the worst trait by a long shot. Eddie wouldn't be so shocked by that. After all, it wasn't the monster from his own home he feared the most- though maybe in the traditional sense it was. It was always the adults. Adults with their haunting control over a child's life. Even here, it made him feel anxious.)
That would be so cool. Does it rain here a lot? I never even thought about weather. Does it thunder? I wonder what happens if it does.
I suck at sports. But I'm not half bad at running?
(............

I like comic books. And I like clothes. And looking nice if I can. (The latter he admits with a bit of a blush. But it's progress, truthfully. It's Eddie trying to be a little more brave.)
