What he said

Cailan got out of school early on Wednesay, so he spent part of the afternoon hanging out at my office.  He ate yogurt for his afternoon snack, and then I said, "Come with me to the staff kitchen, so we can rinse out the yogurt container and recycle it."  He said, "Where is this room of which you speak?"

Last night we went to a Shakespeare in the Park performance at the high school.  It had rained earlier in the day, so we brought our groundcloth to sit on.  Cailan was holding the stuff sack for the ground cloth, twirling it around by its strings, pretending it was some kind of Magical Object.  He said, "Observe the Invisible Hammer!"

We went to Cailan's parent-teacher conference at school.  The teacher kindly claimed to have truly enjoyed having hm in her class.  She shared with us one of her favorite pieces of his handiwork. The kids in Cailan's class were supposed to write about what they had done on the playground at recess. He wrote "The passageway monster lives deep in the field and I listen for its thumps. I hear a lot of thumps. I always listen."
