Happy, Busy Weeks and Elspeth

Well, it's been an extremely busy holiday season here, and we're on the cusp of a trip to Texas. On the day we arrive back (Christmas) in PA, so do all of my family members!

Before I get carried away in the final pack/clean, here's a little Elspeth story I've been saving for some days now. A little background: Thomas is a boy in Elspeth's preschool. He features largely as a character of mischief in her stories, and the troubles he encounters and the devious nature he shows in her narratives are certain embellishments of what I am sure is a peaceful, calm demeanor. When I try to pry details of preschool out of her, mostly what I get are Thomas Stories instead. This one was too good not to record. Following are her words:

Thomas was inside his Mommy waiting to be born. And he ate one of his Mommy's bones. Then they jumped over the sea and he got swallowed by a fish. He jumped over the moon and that's all of the story.

Happy Christmas season, everyone!
