Vows of Silence


Todd is currently reading this Daniel Pinkwater chapter book to our boys before bed each night. If you haven't read Daniel Pinkwater, you MUST. He is delightfully wacky. It is a dream of mine to have him and his wife, Jill, over for dinner sometime. Sadly, I don't know them and as of yet have found nobody who does.

In the book they are currently reading, one of the characters decides to take a vow of silence, but can't quite manage it.

Benjamin realized that he could do way better than the character and said, "I'm going to take a vow of silence, too."

To which my husband sighed and responded, "Oh, all right. As long as you can be quiet about it!"
