I love that! Thank you.

Thank goodness our world is a blend of Professors and Little Ones. Imagine a life with only one or the other. Now that would be dark-dark, for real dark, for certain.

Arguably, dark is when he can’t see his own hand in front of his face, but that is just between you and me (and the whole internet I guess).

I have one that takes everything literally and two that fly by the seat of their pants. And, like you, I tend to worry most about the seat fliers even though they are now grown and busy and don’t burst through the door as often anymore.
