Thanks. The good doctor is my favorite

twentieth century philosopher!

It is from my all time fave Dr Seuss

book: Did I ever tell you how lucky

you are?

 

The bulk of the book is these

wonderful, insane illustrations

of places and people you're lucky

you're not.

 

They have become proverbial in

my family.

 

Like Professor De Friese who is trying

to teach Irish ducks how to read Jivvanese.

 

When my son tries to explain something scientific

my brain always glazes over within 5 minutes,

and I tell him its Irish ducks time.

 

Sniff. I miss having little kids to read to.

My fave memory of their childhood are

having a child on each side and reading

aloud.

 

Only grandson (6) only likes non-fiction.

He is a factoid freak. I just want to

take him to Narnia.
