I was watching Planet Earth with Porter one evening while his parents were out, before it was time for him to go to bed. Porter loves animals, and knows more about them than most adults do. We were watching the segment about the Tibetan Plateau, where yaks and wild asses live.
"Aunt Tarythe, do you know what 'wild' means?" Porter asked me. Then, before I could respond, he answered his own question.
"It's short for 'rascally'."
Ah. I never knew.

"...thou hast perfected praise." Or, at the very least, good entertainment - worthy of being recounted at family reunions for years to come. Some of the stuff kids come out with is priceless. They're always completely serious and sincere about it too - and very often that's the funniest bit. This blog is dedicated to my wonderful nieces and nephews, who never fail to make me smile.
