I remember many winters back, I want to say the Winter of 1990, Eddie and I started to build an igloo in our backyard. Eddie was naturally gifted with not just the skill but the curiosity of how to build things. This was also why he was the main person constructing "our" igloo.
It was about half way done when I had a couple of my friends come over to play and suggested that we continue building the igloo without Eddie's knowledge. We ended up modifying the wall so that it would be at a 90 degree angle, rather than the curved form Eddie had started. It began to resemble that of a fort, rather than an igloo. At some point my friends had to go home and I went in and told Eddie what we had done. He was upset.
When I think about it now, I believe he was a combination of pissed (because the architecture was completely wrong) and disappointed because it was an activity he and I were doing together. When I brought my friends into the picture it took away from the enjoyment. Eddie nor I ever completed that igloo that Winter.
