Five year-old reading "colors" book to one year-old.
Five year-old turns to "brown" page.
Five year-old points to brown donkey, states matter-of-factly, "Brown Donkey. Donkeys are really nice!"
True story.
Brilliant five year-old.
Me <-- Really proud Pa.

Hmmmmm ... I happen to know these children. They're kinda nice, too. I wonder what 3 year old would have said about the donkey? =)
Maybe I'll try to get some donkey dirt out of three year-old. He comes up with some poignant observations from time to time. Will keep you posted ...
Yes, three year olds are typically known for their poignant observations. And I am impressed you can spell poignant. =)
I met a donkey in the fall who was really cool. No, actually this was a REAL donkey, thank you. His fur was so very soft, too! He just stood there and let us pet and love on him for many many minutes. When we stopped he began eating my friend's hood. Very refined taste, those donkeys. =)
I didn't even have to look it up.
:-)
I would sure like to learn more about your donkey experience. As you probably know, clothes-eating is the ultimate donkey display of friendship and platonic affection.
I was raised by a pair of donkeys. They were very nice and loving, and I turned out ok as evidenced by the continued displays of sanity on this blog. My friends were always horrified to go anywhere with us, though, as dad's single-toed hooves couldn't grip a steering wheel very well.
All I have to say is, you are giving me more and more reason to tell ... I mean, NOT to tell Mom and Dad about this blog .....
I am thinking your little storefront offers some nice gifts for a certain birthday in March, though. I wonder if anyone would make the connection ...?
That's a great idea. Or, perhaps even a "official" looking flyer, inviting him to join the newly formed democrapublican Party ... including a bumper sticker & stuff. You know, like the ones the GOP and DNC send out, containing all kinds of false accusations against the other, and how you can stop them by joining the GOP or DNC and sending money!! Especially the sending money part.
