Whenever Ash feels frustrated, he cleans. Since he does not become frustrated very often, his room is a perpetual minefield of stuffed Pokemon dolls, gadgets, and clothing. Delia tries to keep it clean, she really does, but there is only so much a single mother can do with a six year old boy to take care of, so she tries not to feel too unhappy.

Besides, it’s a good thing that Ash is developing normally, even without his father here, isn’t it?

Tis.

So she ignores the blocks strewn over the floor as she dishes him another bowl of clam chowder, seeing him smile brightly, and ignores the dirt tracked in when he plays in her garden, and enjoys her lot in life.
