most of his prior field research had led him to the conclusion that slides were supposed to be slid down while sitting on one's posterior. but in a curious turn of events, he's recently observed that some Big Kids like walk up the slide.
to the best of my knowledge odin has not yet constructed a coherent theory that explains the behavior, but he definitely believes it warrants further study.
given his intense interest in the The Slide, he missed the unique opportunity to observe a mentally challenged adolescent boy who pulled down his pants to take a pee while seemingly oblivious to the horrified protests of a young mother standing nearby with her children. seemingly i say, at least until he started throwing bark chips at her.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
