A Day with the Boys

Recently I enjoyed the position of Grandma-in-charge for Jonathan and Noah while the rest of the family spent the day in Pittsburgh.   It was loads of fun, but by the end of the day I could identify with Zoe in the Baby Blues comic below.

Jonathan discovered language early, and has been exceedingly verbal ever since.  He also shares with his Aunt Janet a vivid imagination and an endless capacity for story-telling.  Unlike his aunt, however, his stories have a decidedly Y-chromosome twist.

Picture this at a very high data transfer rate, extending through most of the last hour of the afternoon, without need of feedback or even evidence that the audience is paying any attention at all, and heedless of various interruptions and distractions.  This guy clearly needs a Mr. Microphone and a tape recorder.
