Della: He sees you all the time, Georgie.
George: How?
Della: He sees you when you’re sleeping, when you’re awake…
George: How, Della?
Della: He’s magical.
George: He can’t see us.
Della: Yes he can.

George: Where is he?
Della: The North Pole. It’s so close to the South Pole. We live in the South Pole.

Bappa thinks it’s interesting that George is usually naked, but then he swims fully clothed.

I volunteered in George’s class awhile back…I brought in owl pellets and we dissected them. George keeps asking me to volunteer again.

Me: Okay, but what are we going to do this time? 
George: How about dead foxes.
Me: Oh great.
George: We could fight with their bones.

Bappa Report

Some of you may have heard that Bappa got bucked off his horse! I will spare you the details except to say it was reportedly “spectacular,” and he seems to be making a full recovery. The doctor today told him to resume having fun.

Father’s Day

Steve is a good father! He is sensitive to his kids’ emotional needs. He cooks dinner every single night. He takes care of Della’s Tamagotchi pet. He doesn’t put up with lax tooth brushing.

On Father’s Day, he is cool with just wearing swimsuits and sitting in the weeds.8A5015D0-F4D4-4DB7-8CD4-50E58855E7DA-2

He is building this playhouse:

He took the kids to Virginia, to this Burning Man exhibit at the Renwick, while I lazed it up at a writing **retreat** in luxurious Park City.

He is tolerant of all forms of silliness, self-expression, and diversion from norms.

Luckiness abounds! We are so happy he is ours.
