Waffle's party listTobi typed a party list on the computer, key after key, and never stopped for a gap. The screen showed one long worm of letters, and Nana Bea could not read it. "Rest your thumb on the long space bar and tap it once between words," she said. Tobi tapped after milk and after eggs, and the words stood apart. Then he wanted each food on its own line. "Enter sends the cursor to the start of a new line," said Nana Bea. Soon the list read milk, eggs, bread and cake, with each food on its own line.
