We pause in the middle of my retelling of "The Horse and His Boy."


Will: "Why did the prince want to marry Susan so bad?"

Me: "I think Susan was supposed to be very beautiful."

Will: "Well, that's broken love."

Me: "That's very true, Will. Rabadash shouldn't have wanted to marry Susan just because she was beautiful."

Will: "She was smart though. I bet she knew he would be a bad husband. If they had kids, he'd probably say, 'Susan!! Take care of the kids!! I'm going to work and I don't care about them.'"

Me: "Yep. He probably would have been just like that."

Will: "She was good at choosing a husband. I bet she would have people over to her house, and then the next day she made them leave and said, 'You're not a kind person!'"

After a week's absence.

Me: "Did you guys miss me?"

Annie: "Yessss."

Will: "Well...not really. It was only a week."

Me: "I missed you! And ANNIE missed me."

Will: "Well, I kept a lot of positive thoughts in my head. That you were coming back."
