Not terribly long ago, I posted about how William, upon recognizing he had left the water running in the sink for an extra couple of seconds, lamented that he had "killed polar bears."
This is a very environmentally-savvy youngster.
Yesterday he was pulling a paper towel off the rack, and the roll was stripped bare.
"Oh no!" he cried. "I used the last one! The world is going to end."
I didn't get it at first. I thought he was just being silly. So I said, "Boom." (The world has ended, exploded.)
"No, no, no," he explained. "It's not going to explode, it's going to get warm."
This is the same seven-year-old who gritted his teeth when I told him I might need surgery on my toe (didn't in the end) and said, "Oh, I don't know, surgery is expensive."
I can't decide whether this is a good thing ... or a not-so-good thing.

William, Coraline, Library Work, and Junie B. Jones
The new issue of VOYA came out today. My review isn't in this one - will probably be in the next - but this is a great issue. I love the article on librarians who became novelists.
I love library work myself. Shelving books is therapeutic.
So William and I are going to see Coraline tomorrow. (I would italicize it but Coraline is something special, and need not be italicized!) Coraline was a turning point for William - he realized, upon finishing it, that sitting through a chapter book could actually be fun. We have been speeding through the Junie B. Jones books lately. How I do love Junie B. Jones. My favorite has long been The Yucky Blucky Fruitcake and I do so look forward to reading it with Will!
William is out for a sleepover tonight. I miss him. Even one night without him makes me feel kind of empty. It sounds silly, but morning feels like years from tonight.
He is the most precious little thing. I can hardly wait to take him to see Coraline tomorrow.
I guess I'll go back to Answering on Yahoo! Answers. I spend lots of time in the Baby Names category, because it's way too much fun.
I have this thing for names.
