the comics don't lie

I always loved reading Calvin & Hobbes comics. Now I'm living them. Dennis lives part of the time in an imaginary world in his mind. Ask him to stop hitting other children with a rope and he says "I'm not hitting kids--I'm just doing practice with my lasso. I'm a cowboy." Or he's Indiana Jones. Or he's a police officer--"I'm just catching bad guys!". He stalks around the church wearing sunglasses and suddenly he's a spy. I ask him not to run in church and he says "but I'm Flash. I have to move fast!". He's ever so logical. I wonder of kindergarten will insert a bigger dose of reality into his days. Possibly not. He's breezing through his reading book at an amazing clip. Here's hoping he finds a productive and well-received outlet for whatever boredom he encounters.
