Drumming Man returned on the way home from school…
Mark (recapping the plot): “I will fight crime! I will drum ON THEIR HEADS until they give up!”
Me: “How will you find them?”
Mark: “I will sneak up on them like a linda!”
Me: “Um…what?”
Mark: “A linda!” (waves an impatient hand) “You know, the sneaky guys in black.”
The light goes on. Me: “A ninja!”
Mark (nodding happily that I’ve made it past my stupidity): “That’s right! A linda!”
This may clear up why Linda was always his very favorite preschool teacher. But I bet she’d be astonished to discover what he thinks she does in her free time.
