The episode— Season 5, Episode 5: A Crying Child, a Cluttered Desk, and a High-Definition Conundrum —was about to begin.
Sheldon stood in front of the family’s bulky, 32-inch CRT television, holding a tape measure and a small notebook. On the TV stand sat a brand-new, still-in-the-box Blu-ray player—a gift from his Meemaw after she’d won big at a casino in Oklahoma.
Missy, sitting next to him, quietly returned his pencil tray to perfect order—having secretly watched a YouTube video on “Sheldon Cooper’s Desk Geometry.”
Mary smiled. “But he’s our weird.”
Sheldon noticed. He didn’t say thank you. But he slid the popcorn bowl closer to her side.
