Sick Day

I am home with my sick boy today, feeling a little sick myself. We read chapter after chapter of the Phantom Tollbooth. Theo loves it, though I know he barely understands it. And I find myself thinking it is a brilliant piece of philosophy and life wisdom for any adult who delights in words. (Milo, Tock and the humbug are currently stuck in the forest of sight, right past the point of view, trapped between reality and illusion, on their way to free rhyme and reason).

Between chapters Theo sat down, drew me an airplane, and wrote me this note:

me + you is love.
I have a lot of fun.
from Theo.
To mommy.

Awwwwwwwwww.

I guess it is all worthwhile.
