"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Night-time on the Monitor

E: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...

E: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...

E: And then, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

E: And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

E: And... M? M? Are you listening? M? Oh, dang it, she's already going to sleep.

Deep breath...

E: M! Wake up!!! I'm telling you a story.

I think my career is getting to me...I saw the post title and thought, "Hmmm, I wonder why Jamie is writing about the battle of the Ironclads? Is E learning about the Civil War already?"
Really? Does the job ever end?
I guess E is going to be a story-teller like her Mommy!
