We went out to find our new library today. It was closer than our last one, and it took all of 5 minutes to get there. I’d forgotten to look at my watch when we left, so I asked the kids how long we’d been driving. Paxton told me it was about 3 minutes, “or 180 seconds. If it had been 4 minutes, it would have been 240 seconds.” Pause. “5 would be be 300 seconds.” He stopped at 7.

Their picks from the library? Books on rats, horses, squid, zebras, and constuction vehicles.
