Stoked from a morning show-choir performance and an afternoon rehearsal, Carolyn is lumbering around the kitchen floor, belting “I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS!!!”
Peter, his nose in a book, expresses a stoic disapproval.
“Peter, you never ask for anything,” says my wife, raising her voice over Carolyn’s singing. “If you could have anything, regardless of the price, what would you ask for?”
“Other than the Death Star,” I tease.
My wife and I chuckle. Peter tilts his head. He’s not thinking, just waiting for us to finish. After a precisely timed pause, he speaks.
“Wisdom.”
He puts his nose back in his book. As he makes a humble exit, I catch just a hint of a smile on his face.

I’m thinking we should talk Peter into being the new voice of Sensations….He could do all of the announcements. He’d know all of the right dates for all of the shows and he’s definitely got the perfect announcer voice!
That’s funny, claire does the same. In fact she was in a wedding and I didn’t realize she wore shorts – I was in a panic that she ruined the bride’s photos if you could see them in the silouette!
She tells me she had shorts on underneath!
Sorry I’m thinking one of the boys should be the hippo – or Carolyn should wear jazz pants. The poor thing was crawling around in a skirt!
