What My Boys Taught Me This Morning

posted by Jackie at 7:13 AM

This morning, my boys taught me important things:

- Dragons have wings, but most of us know that
- Some of us don't know dragons breathe fire out of their mouths
- They have patterns like eyes and teeth on their wings, to scare away predators
- Castles have drawbridges
- Jabba got killed
- Luke got a robotic hand

My boys showed me all of these things...in the BOOKS THEY WERE WRITING. Yes, that's right: the Precious Little Tax Deductions are writers! Oh, they make a mommy proud!

(Tax Deduction the Elder explained that when he's done, he'll sell his book for thirty dollars. Because, as he said, he should make his own money so he can buy things. Rock on, you capitalistic creative child!)

Hmm, this instantly made me wonder what the other people think dragons blow fire out of...

"They have patterns like eyes and teeth on their wings, to scare away predators"

This is actually a very cool idea.

Spreading the joy of writing to your children--very nice! And so creative, too! Now, were the dragons and Jaba in the same book?

This just proves that writing is a hereditary disease. I understand there is no cure. Not for me, anyway.

"They have patterns like eyes and teeth on their wings, to scare away predators"
- which begs the question...What preys on dragons?

Lori: heh. For real.

Jeremy: Yeah, isn't it? He got the idea from butterflies.

Jackie: Nope, dragons were from Tax Deduction the Elder, and Jabba from Tax Deduction the Younger. They were each writing their own books. :)

Anton: Nah, we have George's blessing. He just doesn't know it.

Tom: You know, that's a darn good question...
