Conversations with Tommy

"Daddy, what that boy doing?" as a young boy raced around the school and climbed the rock wall.
"That boy is doing laps and climbing up the rock wall."

"That boy want to slide with me?"
"No, he's busy climbing up the rock wall."

"That boy mean?"
"No, he's just focused on running and climbing the wall."

"That boy grumpy?"
"No, he just wants to run and climb around on that wall."

"That boy not want anything to do with me?"
Laughter from John. "No, he's just focused on what he's doing."

"Daddy, that boy grumpy?...."""""


"Mommy, where is the planet?"
"Up in the sky."
"No, Mommy, where is it?"
"Up in space?"
"No, up in outer space, Mommy!"
