There were at least fifteen.
Fifteen problems that Theodore could see at the moment, and every single one bothered him. He wasn't a perfectionist - except he was, and he hated it, and he blamed it entirely on his father. Simon King was no stranger to perfection. He had lived his entire life with it. Or rather, striving for it.
Come on Theodore! Greatness waits for no man! And what, after all, was not greater than perfection personified.
Okay, so maybe it wasn't his father's problem. Simon King had never even spoken the word "perfect", because that would mean there was an end in sight. Theodore was almost positive his father, despite all his eccentricities, had never seen an end in sight - no, that would ruin half the fun. No, Simon had /envisioned/ ends but he never met them, because for every time he approached them, he would find a new one to chase after.
Glorious. Wasn't it.
Theodore sighed; spending a Sunday afternoon lamenting about his father and his relationship with him was not what he had pictured as an ideal afternoon. He folded the shirt in front of him, stacking them to a pile of other, very crisp dress shirts. Alright, one task completed. Only fourteen more to go.
