No better time to snuggle than a Taco Bell booth after a big bean burrito.

Daddy, shall we read some more Three Musketeers?
Our two-point-five year old boy inquired.

Sure,
I said.

He continued:
Do you know who d'Artagnan reminds me of?

(did not wait for reply)

Uncle Jonny.

His five-point-five year old sister burst in:
Athos reminds me of Uncle Jeremy.

He switches gears:
Is the Cardinal's men bad? Are they not very nice?

Yeah, kind of,
I said.

And then I swiftly changed topics before he inevitably brought Darth Vader into the world of 17th century Parisian intrigue (the Cardinal would be no match).

Tomorrow: he discusses the surprisingly complex character and motivations of Porthos.
