For just One Day

Putting the kids to bed tonight, I was reading Leuck's "for just One Day," about imagining being all kinds of different animals.

Afterwards, I showed them the final page, and asked what animal they think it would be fun to be for a day.



Olin: A Crocodile.
Me: Why?
Olin. So a bird would brush my teeth and I didn't have to.

Olin: And also a bumblebee.
Me: Why?
Olin: So I could sting.
Me: Sting who?
Olin: People that annoyed me.

Olin: And a ladybug.
Me: A ladybug?
Olin: Yeah.
Me: Why?
Olin: So I could climb all over people.

And there, in a nutshell, is Olin.
