Literal Interpretation

The Boy has been attending Montessori Preschool for about 2 months now and we still aren't exactly sure what all goes on with him and the class during the day. No matter how often or in what way we ask, he isn't very forthcoming with information regarding his daily activities. So, The Husband in all his infinite wisdom devised a nightly ritual during dinner time. At the dinner table, we share all about the happenings of all our days. The Boy has become very accustom to doing this and if we forget and he remembers, we all have to march back to the dining room table and share our days in the proper order...I know, he isn't very into structure or routine at all....The Husband goes first, then me and then The Boy. We still aren't getting very much information, but the information we are getting is worth the routine.

Last night during our nightly routine this was the dialogue:

The Boy: How about your day, Daddy?
The Husband: Well, I went to work and went to some meetings and then I put out a lot of fires.
The Boy (interrupting): Fires, did you see a fire truck with the fires?
Laughter insues much to The Boy's confusion.
The Husband: No, not this time, I handled it all by myself.
The Boy: Ohhh, how about your day, Momma?
