a good reason to avoid school


(Here's Zoo Boy with his "hook birds" -- clothes hangers. He says that they live in a swamp. I've noticed that most of his favorite pretend animals live in swamps. Obviously the swamp is a prime habitat for growing imaginations.... The boy's favorite toys have always been things that were never intended to be toys. I'll have to get a picture of him with his "robot" -- a camera tripod -- at some point.)

The other morning J came bouncing in to wake Zoo Boy and try to cajole him out of bed by saying they were going to play school, and that he had a schoolbus all set up and everything.

Zoo Boy looked at him sleepily and said:

"I can't go to school. It will make me all crazy."

Out of the mouths of babes....
