Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri has never seen this happen before, a sign of things to come. Bob was putting on his winter coat .... or trying at least. Bob would attempt to put it  on, but "Al" would stop him by questioning silently if he was doing it right. "They" would start, stop, start , stop, turning the coat every which direction. At one point Bob stopped held the coat way out in front of him, turned to Sheri and said "something is wrong here." Sheri waited patiently, eventually except for a few mismatched buttons Bob was ready to go. Such subtle changes.
