My sister was here over the weekend. Nathaniel was eating his supper off a leftover birthday plate that featured Barney, Baby Bop and BJ.
Sarah Ellen: "Nathaniel, what kind of animals are Barney, Baby Bop and BJ?"
Nathaniel: [laughing] "They're not animals!"
Sarah Ellen: "Sure they are! What kind of animals are they?"
Nathaniel: [firmly] "They Are NOT Animals!"
Sarah Ellen: "Well then, what are they?"
Nathaniel: "They Are People."
Somewhere in this story there is a sign that I have failed miserably in some respects as a parent.
