Blue snails
Rand and I were playing that age-old game of "I'm thinking of....."
Rand: "I'm thinking of something blue."
Me: "Is it the sky?"
Rand: "No. It moves very slowly."
Me: "Um....a train?"
Rand: "No! It moves REALLY REALLY SLOW."
Me, thinking back to past games: "Is it a snail?"
Rand: "Yes! It's a blue snail!"
Fast forward a couple more rounds....
Rand: "I'm thinking of something fast."
Me: "An airplane?"
Rand: "Nope! It's blue."
Me: "Our car?"
Rand: "Nope! It's super super fast."
Me, getting smart: "A snail?"
Rand: "Yes! It's a super fast blue snail!"
Even with all this, I think our current version is better than when he starts reading Ranger Rick and knowing all of the obscure animals.

Thanks so much for the sweet comment! I loved Ranger Rick as a kid and hope Rand and Ella will do the same.
