Um

Yesterday, Eddie got a goodie bag at his school's farewell picnic, including a ball, some stickers, a little notebook, and a pen. He's been having fun writing and drawing in the notebook. The teachers had a bag for Vincent too!

Today, Eddie was examining Vincent's bag, and noticed that it didn't include a pen. He asked why not.

"Pens are not for babies," I said.

"Why not?"

There seem to be many reasons, but I said "They're too sharp."

"Not if his big brother wants to kill him!" said Eddie.

Uh

  1. -meaning, Vincent needs it for self-defense against big bro? who HAS a sharp dangerous pen? You need to keep working on the kinder, gentler themes! (So, what DID follow the "uh," papa?)

  2. Oh dear! He must have heard and given his own interpretation to the expression, the pen is mightier than the sword.
