China

En route to Spanish class this afternoon:

LOGAN: Mommy, when I'm an adult, will I be all done with learning Spanish?

ME: I don't think so. When you're an adult, you might want to go and live in Spain. Then you'll be able to speak Spanish all the time.

LOGAN: You know where you go to learn all the languages?

ME: Where?

LOGAN: China.

ME: Really?

LOGAN: Yeah. That's where you learn Chinese, French, English, Spanish - all the languages. And that's also where you get Chinese food. And they have lots and lots of cookies.

ME: China sounds like a great place.

LOGAN: Yeah, and they have lots and lots of playgrounds and they ALL have monkey bars.

ME: The Chinese must be really good on the monkey bars, then. How many playgrounds are there in China?

LOGAN: One hundred in all of China.

ME: That many? How many cities are there in China?

LOGAN: Only two.

ME: That's it? What are the names of the cities?

LOGAN: Oz. Oz and West. They have lots and lots of policemen and firefighters. They used to be sort of scary cities but not really because all the police and firefighters protect it.

ME: That is very good to know.

Must be true

ME: Good morning, Logan. Did you sleep well?

LOGAN: Yes. Sleeping well is good for your feet muscles.

Uh...I guess so

Logan while putting on red socks embellished on the side with a little design consisting of a soccer ball, a basketball and a baseball:

"Mom, is everyone gonna see my balls?"

Logan: Storyteller and Scientist

One of Logan's recent mini-narratives:

"One Time I went to Kansas City and saw a woman with a beard and moustache. She had a bag of pistachios with pepper on them." (Do we really need cable, when we have nonstop entertainment like this?)

And his analysis of a recent thunderstorm that threatened to cancel a much-anticipated birthday party:

Logan: "The weather said it wasn't supposed to rain today."
Me: "Well, sometimes the weather is wrong."
Logan" No! The sky was wrong!"

Logan appears to be preparing for a future in numerical modeling.
