Pile-up

Came down to this pile-up of humans and animal friends this morning. Almost too sweet to disturb, although the joyful cries of "Mommy!" when he sees me in the morning have become a lovely welcome to the day.

Sebastien has been asking about the meaning of the songs he knows and hears. He wants to understand them all. Which is fine most of the time, but some of the French songs: "Well, sweetie...this one is about the king who falls in love with his nobleman's wife and asks if he can have her. And the nobleman has to give her up, but before the king can sleep with her, the queen poisons her with a deadly bouquet of flowers. Um, I mean...this is about a king who falls in love. Yeah, that's it." Oh, dear...
