At dinner, I asked Owen what his favorite part of yesterday was. He tells me when he was in the other room playing with R2D2. No, we tell him, that was just a little while ago before dinner. We tell him yesterday was the party—and ask again what his favorite part of the day was. He stops and thinks.
Owen: The big white slide that goes around to the water.
Us: ??? [Thinking…]
Me: Owen, that was the water slide on vacation two weeks ago.
We explain that yesterday was the big party when Miss Virginia was here and he played with the kids and in the pool and had cake and ice cream.
Me: Owen, what did you like best about yesterday?
Owen: Playing in the pool.
Well, finally there’s the answer.
