Dante has finally taken to reading books to himself. The problem is, really terrible things are happening in all of his books.
Let me rewind to about two weeks ago. I am merrily typing away on my computer (probably one of the bazillion essays I had to write recently.) Brad is also using his computer, presumably to look at obnoxious videos on YouTube. Dante is sitting on the floor in the living room reading a book, and we start to hear him talking.
"Ohhh, nooooo!" *Page turn* "Ohhhhh, nooooooo!" *Page turn*..... "Ohh, nooooo!"
Brad and I smile at each other.
Brad says "Man, whatever is happening in that book must be pretty devastating."
I had no idea why Dante had taken to exclaiming "Oh no!" while reading every single book. In fact, for a few weeks I could not figure out where he had even heard that phrase before. Last night, as I am reading to him, it comes to me.
"Still more--W! And X Y Z! The whole alphabet up the-- Ohhhhhhhhhh....."
