Prolific

"Amos is fast if not prolific" doesn't make sense. "Amos is nothing if not prolific" makes sense. I keep trying to make sense of "fast if not prolific" and my brain just slides off it. I might be missing something but I don't think I am.

Amos built a bunch of snow shit in the time it took Edda to turn around. He is both fast and prolific. He worked quickly and also produced a lot of work.

Amos specifically built a bunch of snow babies because once again McEldowney is more about the idea of children than actual children, children in concept but not in practice.

There is literally no reason not to have their kids present. Instead we have two adults playing in the snow... sans kids. Because kids don't like playing in the snow? Because playing in the snow is just like a thing that people barrelling toward middle age enjoy doing as an adult activity, kids held someplace else?

Anyway, here we see two adult snowpeople making out while snowbabies clamor for their attention.
