Literal Translation

Thought this one was pretty good.  If you've ever spent any significant time with him, you know that Michael is, without a doubt, the most literal of our three kids.  He always likes to be experiencing (first hand) what he is seeing.  For example, if a pirate cartoon happens to be on TV, he runs upstairs to grab his sword and eye patch.  Sometimes he constructs elaborate cruise ships upon seeing a program about the Titanic.  Yesterday, I tried to teach the kids a little bit about the Triple Crown in horse racing in advance of watching "California Chrome" make his (disappointing) run at history.  Well, the next thing I know, Michael has broken out his Magna-Tiles to construct his own starting gate.  And, yes, that's California Chrome, the #2 horse...second from the rail...exactly how he had seen it...
