IFN and I'm taking the boy to see "True Grit" by the Coen Brothers. And on the way I check to see how his memorization of quotes and poetry is doing. He's learning them, but knows nothing about the authors. I've reassigned these for next week.
And perhaps this is what inspired him, because he takes out his pen and paper and begins writing down my quotes. By which I mean all the offensive 4 letter words and explicitives I toss off in ordinary conversation. He jots them down faithfully and reads them back to me, I correct them for accuracy and try to append explanatory footnotes to some of them - he won't have it. "For my teachers and social worker" he tells me.
