I was sitting in the courtyard of our local library reading magazines while my pre-school nephew played. "What is that?" he asked. I causally looked up and realized he was talking about a sound. "That's a car," I said and went back to the magazine. "What's that?" he asked again. I barely looked up. "I think that's a car." "What is that?" My mind was still on the magazine. "I think it's a motorcycle." The next thing I knew, he was standing right in front of me, he's face close to mine. "Look me in the eyeballs," he said. "What is that?" "A car," I said. After he had gotten my mind on him and not my magazine he was satisfied and went back to playing. I guess that is what some people want. Just to know that once in a while they have your full attention.
