Oliver showed me some scratches on his leg. I responded, logically, with, “Were you bitten by a basilisk?â€
Oliver responds, “No! They’re not real.â€
“Oh, how do you know?â€
Oliver rolls his eyes and says, “Daddy, I know a LOT about the world.â€
Save that comment – he will so want to hear it again when he’s 20!
A little learning is a dangerous thing. Thank goodness Oliver knows a lot about the world. Otherwise his brain might become intoxicated, a perilous condition at his age.
