After a few months' hiatus, Julia has revivified her habit of interrupting any and every story with dozens or scores of questions - some good, some silly. A sample, from a poem in a weird teddy bear-centric anthology, with the actual poem boldfaced, her questions italicized, and mine set normally:
Little Bear brought chocolate cake
Who did?
Little Bear
What kind of cake?
Chocolate.
Raggy Bear brought honey
In a jar?
No (pointing to the picture under the poem): in a pot.
Baby Bear brought ice cream,
What kind?
It doesn't say, but the pictures shows vanilla.
With butterscotch all runny!
What's butterscotch?
A kind of topping - kind of like jam or jelly.
Tough Old Ted brought cupcakes,
Silky Bear brought jello,
What color?
Pink.
What kind?
Probably strawberry or raspberry.
Shaggy Bear brought cookies and
Egg sandwiches all yellow!
I don't like egg sandwiches. What are egg sandwiches?
A sandwich with a fried egg in the middle.
Off they set into the woods,
The Hundred-Acre Wood?
No, another woods.
A sunny spot they found
Was it a clearing?
Probably - maybe just a small one.
And had a teddy bears' picnic
As they shared the goodies round!
That sounds yummy. I would like a cookie.
