My son, the aspiring writer/politician/bodyguard/paleontologist/whatever it is this week came to me this morning wanting breakfast. "Mom I'm hungry." And then he draped his little body over the overstuffed arm of the couch I was sitting on and came out with this:
"I'm a sloth dying on a branch." My son used a metaphor! What an image.
Now if that isn't a convincing argument, I don't know what is. "A sloth...dying on a branch?"
I supressed a giggle.
"Son, where did you learn about sloths?"
"Animal planet. They have three toes."
And for once, I can't complain about the horrible programming they're putting out. Hat's off to Animal Planet!

My neice & nephews just love the Animal Planet. :-) It is very educational and entertaining..
Thank you for the comment about my flowers. I appreciate it.. :-)
Lol, too cute, I ♥ that! "...a sloth dying on a branch!" Not only did he use a metaphor, he used a cool metaphor!
My 8 yr old daughter absolutely loves Animal Planet. She'll watch anything they air and would sit all day long just watching Animal Planet if I'd let her.
At least he pays attention. :-) Sounds like a smart kid. The Animal Planet is always on here, but that's mainly because of my wife. My son is more into G4, because of Star Trek and all. :-)
Enjoyed your blog.
I will keep an eye on it.
