Yesterday at the pool, while the kids were struggling with the desire to swim in the cruelly unheated water, I sat with my books, reading and comparing.
ME: Hey! Gracie, come take a look at this!
G: What is it?
ME: It's a quote from this ancient Greek poet, Archilochus...
G: I don't care about some dumb Greek guy.
ME (undaunted, reading aloud): ..."The fox knows many tricks, the hedgehog only one. One good one."
G: What?! Read it again!
A pause as Gracie races over to read it herself, ignoring the posted warnings about running around the pool, wet feet splattering dangerously on the deck, while the quote is repeated.
G: Cool! Hey! Sara! Listen to what this guy Archilochus said...!
