I had read the Winnie-the-Pooh stories by A. A. Milne. My absolute favorite part of all was the Anxious Pooh song which starts: <BR/> 3 Cheers for Pooh<BR/> (For Who?)<BR/> For Pooh --<BR/> (Why what did he do?)<BR/> I thought you knew;<BR/> He saved his friend from a wetting!<BR/><BR/> 3 Cheers for Bear!<BR/> (For where?)<BR/> For Bear --<BR/> He couldn't swim,<BR/> But he rescued him!<BR/> (He rescued who?)<BR/> Oh, listen, do!<BR/> I am talking of Pooh?<BR/><BR/> (Of who?)<BR/> Of Pooh!<BR/> (I'm sorry I keep forgetting).<BR/> Well. Pooh was a Bear of Enormous Brain --<BR/> (Just say it again!)<BR/> Of enormous brain --<BR/> (Of enormous what?)<BR/> ...<BR/>I love that song because my nephew is just at that age where adults ask little kids, "what color is that?" "How many are there?" And on and on. He knows we know the answers. So he's starting asking obvious questions back to us about everything just like in Pooh's song. He's totally playing with us, but he does it so seriously.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm reading Jane Eyre.Kristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-91425270476914600252008-07-08T11:49:00.000-04:002008-07-08T11:49:00.000-04:00Yeah, definitely delusional.

Not lost on me are the parallels between myself and a delusional literature lover who reads great works and then blathers on about them, connecting them in not-really-pertinent ways to his own life...<BR/><BR/>I like your haiku; will appreciate it more after I read the Hawthorne.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277260387578439327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-64648837345572132412008-07-08T10:27:00.000-04:002008-07-08T10:27:00.000-04:00Mmmmm, "delusional annotator"?
