Conor is hooked on Dr. Seuss books. He has to take a test on 2 library books a week and he always picks Dr. Seuss ones. I actually try to steer him towards other books because the good doctor can be a little difficult with all his made up words for things, but Conor is nothing if not stubborn.
Right now he has 3 books by Dr. Seuss from the school library. He was reading the back of one and saw that Dr. Seuss had passed away in 1966. He said Wow, that was a long time ago. Well, maybe to a 6 year old, but seeing as how I was a baby at the time, lets not get carried away!
So, first Conor asks me how old was he when Dr. Seuss died. Umm, you weren’t born kiddo. Mommy was just a baby at the time.
“Did you know him?” he asks.
“No honey, I was just a baby.”
“Did I know him?”
“No, honey, you weren’t born yet, remember?”
“I wish I’d known him!”
He is just so utterly adorable at times. I love the way his mind works.
