He Thinks He's So Smart

We were watching The Black Cauldron and it was getting near the end and the plot was tense and my five-year-old son was worried, but my seven-year-old son reassured him and said, "Three things have to happen or this isn't Disney . . . Gurgi has to come back to life, Taran and Eilonwy have to get home, and they have to find Hen-Wen, the magic pig," and like clockwork, in the waning minutes, these three things came true and Ian was relieved and Alex felt very clever . . . so I'm going to throw in Old Yeller next weekend and really blow his mind.

i don't know "sounder." i will ook it up, but i assume it's the same plot as "old yeller."

The Red Pony is a great children's book. I'll be in Sea Isle the week of 8/20.
