>From Life is Short/Autobiography as Haiku in today's Post:

"Are you sleeping? Mommy, is he sleeping? Mommy, he's awake! My name
is Isabella. What's your name? I'm three. Next year I'll be four, then
five, then sixseveneightnineten. Hey, I wanted to sit by the window,
but you're sitting by the window. This is the green train, not the
yellow train. I live in Washington, D.C. Where do you live? I'm going
to see my daddy at work. Do you work? Your shirt is blue. Blue is my
favorite color. I'm big! And next year, I'll be even . . . "

Be careful who sits next to you on the Metro.
