Why did he ask if Dad was good with a hammer?
Was he trying to ascertain whether Daddy was likely to go mad and launch a hammer attack of his wife and kids now that he could no longer afford to provide for them?
The fact that he wasn't able to help and felt bad makes it ring true a little more I suppose. Still, Mum shouldn't be taking the kids to see Santa in November if things are that bad.
