The grassy day

Once again, I massacre another classic of children’s literature, but it’s not from being tired of it. Sure, you end up reading these books over and over, but I do want to be in the habit of reading the actual book because, in ways I can’t completely comprehend, the boy’s understanding more and more. I’m pretty sure this version came about because he was messing with the book – turning pages randomly, trying to eat it – and I figured, what the heck?

This was also at a time when our lawn had gotten out of hand in a jungle-like fashion. I really though I might mow a maze in it and see if the boy could find his way out.

    Are you ever going to tell us what the roll of toilet paper was about? I still want to know!
