Last week, 8-year-old Sam proudly announced that he would be reading the dictionary. Reading. The. Dictionary. Oh dear. Is this an early onset of Summertime boredom? Is this an epically ambitious goal? Is it a mixture of both? Perhaps, inspired by his older brother’s 2nd place spelling bee finish, Sam would like to better himself. Could it be an ultimate combo? A boredom inspired sibling rivalry taking the form of a lofty goal. Could be.
All I know is that for the last few days, Sam has been stuck on the mid-A’s. Hopefully, he has reached the apotheosis of this endeavor. “Apotheosis.” A-P-O-T-H-E-O-S-I-S. “Apotheosis.”
