Picking Up What Our Mothers Always Stigmatized
While driving and listening to cool tunes today, Sam (4), asked me what a Chimbley Sweep is. I explained about an alcoholic Welsh poet, a square-spectacled young songwriter, creosote, Victorian economics, and the chemistry of fires. He promptly fell asleep.
The plan in our little family is to push the boys into the truths that we hold self-evident--offbeat music, cycling, art, literature, etc. So the boys both have ample opportunities to pursue such things. Their schoolmates seem to get issued baseballs, footballs, and NASCAR t-shirts. Sports with balls are for circus animals, in my opinion.
Adoringly, they gaze upon him...Clearly, he WAS meant for the stage.
