The Way It Goes

One serves herself a snack.
If you give a little girl a muffin, she will probably ask you for some milk to go with it.
One practices drawing her name in cornmeal:
A delightfully messy handwritting method.
One asks for a magnifying glass in order to study the cornmeal that has fallen onto the table top.
He asks to save a particular grain to show his Dad-- because it's shape "looks just like a lobster".
One squeezes a bit of free reading into every spare minute.
That is the way it goes.
