A Quickie

Because it's kind of funny...

We've started reading The Burgess Bird Book, a wonderful old book that introduces kids to birds through stories. So instead of having a bunch of dry facts about a wren, the author (Burgess) wrote a story about a wren that just migrated back to her home in the north. She tells all kinds of information in the story, but it is just in there and not something that will hit you over the head.

Anyway. We read the first story this morning, about Jenny Wren. So all day long Harry has run around the house saying, "Tut, tut, tut, I'm Jenny Wren." When I suggested that maybe, he might want to be Mr. Wren, he said "no way, he doesn't get to talk. He only sings." And honestly, if you have ever heard Harry sing, that's probably for the best.
