Special Ops: Resistance Team

Apparently crusts are poison. Calvin is taking no risks.

From the studios of "Big Muscle Room" preschool, this somewhat club-footed dancing figure.

Audrey told me last weekend that she wanted to be my Special Resistant. And she is.

Today Scott and I went in to her classroom to read stories to the class and she basked in the glow of this mini-fame, sitting up there at the front with us in Scott's lap and turning pages. The day will come soon enough when the idea of being seen, touched, merely associated with us in front of her classmates will be an anathema to her, but today, she was in heaven.

Of her favorite author, Daniel Pinkwater, author of "The Big Orange Splot," she recently said, "I like him the best. And Johnny Cash."

Calvin is still a serious fan of the Man in Black. The other day I told the kids I needed to stop at the ATM to get some cash and Calvin said, "JOHNNY CASH???!!!!!" Sorry, son. Just the plain old boring green stuff.
