the apes could raise him for free

Henry and I are sitting at the kitchen table, talking about what he might take to school for Show and Share. Charlie is dancing around the kitchen in his birthday suit, waving his shirt like a flag, celebrating his latest successful trip to the potty.

Henry: I think I will take my superheros with me to school.

Charlie: And this week I will take MY superheros to school!

Me: C, you don’t have show and tell at your school.

Charlie: I don’t?

Me: No, but you will next year, when you go to preschool.

Charlie: I’m not going to preschool.

Me: Really? Why not?

Charlie (resuming his wild nekkid dancing): Because I DON’T WANT TO LEARN ANYTHING.

Well, okay then.

   I am more than convinced that Charlie and Ella are destined to marry…

   I like the term ’show and share’.

   Daria will put up this anti-learning front by saying, “I can’t learn anything!”

   Honesty gets some points here?

   Let’s hope this is something that you can recall out loud when he gets the Nobel Prize for curing cancer.

   Reminds me of that line from the Milagro Beanfield War. (Ever seen it? If not, run out and rent it now - social justice that’s laughoutloud funny!)

   Old timer says to eager young anthropology student who is espousing the benefits of new knowledge, broadening one’s horizons: “Kid, if it’s something we don’t know already, then we don’t need to know it.”

   Sigh…

   You should have just named him “Tommy” and been done with it, because you know everything you have ever read about my little juvenile delinquent?

   It started right there.

   Waving his WHAT wildly? And I thought that Charlie’s punch line was going to be “Cause I’m already going to PEE-school.”

   Heh heh. I’m such a dork.
