Oliver came over last Thursday to hang out with me and cousin Brianna. I asked him to pick out a book and he spent some time looking on my kids book shelf for a good book. He was pretty quiet for a while, then all of a sudden he kept repeating, "no pictures, no pictures... where pictures?" Of course, a kids book isn't a kids book at all without pictures. The book he picked out was Plato's The Trial and Death of Socrates. It's one of those books that never left the shelf because I didn't have anywhere else to put it. I guess you could say I'm trying to teach the kids that come to my house about philosophy. A little philosophy never hurt anyone, but not as enticing as pictures!
I'm so glad that his time with you can be so educational. Thank you for watching him for me.
