Pterry hugged his dad as hard as his wings could muster and explained to him that actually there had kinda been a jar of special ocean salt and seaweed seasoning available that long ago night.
He told his dad about the balancing act and the fateful skateboard encounter and the even more fateful window fly-through performed by the jar of special ocean salt and seaweed seasoning.
His dad gave him a quizzical look.
It turns out that after the jar of special ocean salt and seaweed seasoning flew out the window, it landed in a nearby tree. When Pterry ran out to find it, he was just too short to see it.
His mom or dad would have seen it right away, thereby saving his dad a really, really long trip to the store.
