"Mommy, have you ever seen a space man playing a violin?" he asked, out of the blue. I turned to see him holding a screwdriver in perfect violin position, and he was playing it with a second screwdriver as a bow.
Today he said he was thankful for "the stars in the nighttime" and I agreed that they are indeed praiseworthy.
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and Dennis has lots of questions about soldiers and wars and good guys and bad guys, hard questions to answer. I told him the Veterans were soldiers who kept our country safe, and he asked if we could go home and play "Army Men and Indians". As I was about to tell him that the army men and Indians didn't fight, I remembered General Custer. Granted, those army men didn't much look like his little green guys with their helmets and guns and bazookas, but yes the army fought the Indians. I'm going to have to be more vigilant with my brain.
