A conversation about poetry

Stephen: In class today, we were analyzing the poems of John Dunne. It was pretty fun. Now we’re moving on to Shakespeare, but I think… Me: Wait a minute, are you saying you’re finished with Dunne. Stephen: *sigh* Will you stop it?

Stephen’s Palate

Photo Stories

I made my own seasoning for taco meat. I gave some to Stephen. He took one bite and immediately said “Too much paprika.” I was impressed he knew what the flavor was. I had to taste some paprika just to see what he was talking about. I get the feeling that eventually he will be

Photo Stories

Stephen and I recently went to the 2013 Detroit Fanfare and while I took a total of zero pictures at the convention itself, I did take one of a very unenthusiastic Stephen before we left. And one as we were leaving. He was in a much better mood. You can really see it because I

Stephen’s Handwriting

Image via Wikipedia Stephen: Daddy, when you make my lunch can you make sure you put in a juice box or two? Me: I forgot? Sorry, buddy. What did you drink? Stephen: Nothing. Me: Nothing? All day? Stephen: No. I had some chocolate milk that I don’t like. Me: You don’t like chocolate milk? Stephen:
