Young Iggy Peck is an architect and has been since he was two, when he built a great tower- in only an hour- with nothing but diapers and glue. “Good Gracious, Ignacious!” his mother exclaimed. “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!” But her smile faded fast as a light wind blew past and she realized those diapers weren’t clean! “Ignacious, my son! What on Earth have you done? That’s disgusting and nasty! It stinks!” But Iggy was gone. He was out on the lawn using dirt clods to build a great Sphinx.
