she was keeping him on his toes

but thats what an eightyear old should be doing

                                                  it tickles him pink he wouldnt have considered themthought them if she hadnt said

to her credit she vivified stunned his imagination which frankly didnt take much he was easily amused and she was rightup his alley

he listened to her intensely  attentively

a week earlier she slayed him announcing she was taking on an optical course at school would he help her meet the challenge and donate money

    obstacle

              he thought to correct her then he shut up  an obstacle course would be an optical courseHA he wouldnt think obstacle again

this morning she wrote him an email

the subject line read New quote for the day

                                              it opened When you fall there is always Sum body to help you up and you will always help them up when they fall . . .

    Sum body

              wouldnt correct that either and was unlikely to think or recognise somebody again either

Sum body sums somebody up explicitly

                                           we are the sum of our parts our experiences thoughts imagination dreams nightmares

she had him by his shorthairs

                               not that hed tell her at least not until she got a little older kids grew up faster these days and he preferred that honour
