We talk about all kinds of things during bathtime. This evening, Little Guy
told me his classmate and tennis/ wall climbing buddy S. "manitates." "What's that?" I asked.
Between dunking his head in the bathwater, Little Guy explains, "S. says he closes his eyes and he can see the future." I finally get it! "I think you mean 'meditate.' (carefully pronouncing each syllable) So what did the future look like?" (Now I am just curious). "S. says it's boring. You know, just a whole lot of dinosaurs." As he goes under again, an image of very (really very) mature people comes to mind. I tell myself, I am sure S. wasn't thinking of old people but rather, the real thing. Little Guy pops his head up from under the water again and says,"Can we start manitating too?"
