News from home about my nephew:
The boy during schoolwork:
Me: “OK, spell ‘here.’”
Boy:“Give me a minute.”
Me: “OK.”
Boy: “I’m trying to picture it in my head.”
long pause, face tightened with effort
Boy: “Nope. There’s nothing in my head but dark.”
and
More interesting notes about the boy, this one regarding how bright he is.
We’re driving to Tae Kwon Do yesterday and I’ve got The Pogues–they’re an Irish band, Mom–on the radio. There’s a moment of silence where he listens to the singer and he says, “That guy isn’t American, is he?”
Big props.
I second that!
