The First Cartoon

We found this on the chalkboard this morning.



The dialog is:

Theo: Ha I win
Mummy: Man you win
Ruby: [singing] mo

The kids have a Reading Rainbow DVD with a segment on the Egyptian mummies. Theo especially loves watching it, and apparently has fantasies of defeating a mummy. Ruby's is apparently dyslexic, but at least she's been studying the Scrabble dictionary with comprehension. Her commentary on the unfolding drama is well beyond her years--"om" is "a mantra used in contemplation of the ultimate reality." That, or she's secretly an Udnih (a dyslexic Hindu).

Either way, it's good to see that their multicultural sensitivities are firmly established.

The "Call Julia" note was yesterday's reminder from Theo to set up a play date with his friend in Kindergarten. He's been pining for her all spring break.
