I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees!

Guess what Sam has memorized?

Yes, "The Lorax," the whole thing and it's long, 72 pages according to Amazon. Why can he memorize an entire book but not remember where he put his backpack?

He "read" it to me nearly word for word and with very little prompting. Now we've hearing little bits and pieces. Most recently he quoted ""I'm busy," I told him. "Shut up if you please."" I found that one a bit disconcerting. Such a polite way to tell me to get lost.

He also asked for a Super Ax Hacker. Or was that Ben?

We're finding some Suessisms creeping into other things too. Today Ben mentioned that he was going to try to sneak in a few minutes to mow the grickle grass, much needed I might add.

I suggest that you don't ask Sam for directions right now or he'll tell you "Take the road to North Nitch. Turn left at Weehawken. Sharp right at South Stitch."

Every time you dad mentions cutting down a tree around here I tell him "I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees."
