During 8-year-old grandson's Spring Break, daughter and family went to Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello. The weather was dreary the first two days of the trip. The 2-year-old was cranky from teething, so our daughter, Becky, didn't get to finish the tour of the mansion. Just Tom and Nate joined the group in the library. The guide said that Jefferson owned editions of 19 percent of all the books published in his day. He had the largest private collection in America.
Nate raised his hand.
"Yes?" said the guide.
"I'm going to write a book, " Nate announced.
"That's nice," replied the guide.
Yesterday his Grandpa asked Nate about the title of the forthcoming book.
"I'm not really ready to say," replied Nate.
I love this.
