Mom: There, now we have it on the calendar so we won't forget.
N: Can I have that pen?
Mom: Sure, do you have something else to write down?
(N makes a big squiggly drawing in one of the squares of the calendar.)
N: There. All set. I'll try to do it in the other squares just for revelations.

Scary Whiskerland
This picture is about the legend of the scary whiskerland. It's very scary because there are lots of bats flying around and monsters are inside the castle. And there are scary whiskers and a cat that hisses at you and monsters that go roar and a king that doesn't know you. There's also the Legend of the Sillywhisker castle. Its' got some funny cows and whiskers inside it.

Big Plans
N: Mom, I have some plans.
Mom: Oh? Tell me your plans.
N: I want to skate on ice sometime.
Mom: That sounds like fun. Maybe if we visit Michigan in the winter we can skate on ice. I've never skated on ice outdoors before.
N: And I want a sleigh with horses.
Mom: Wow. That's more elaborate. I don't know about that.
N: Or a sleigh with reindeer.
Mom: Do you mean like Santa Claus?
N: Yeah. Are reindeer real?
Mom: Yes, but they can't fly in real life; that's part of the make believe story about Santa Claus.
N: Why?
Mom: That's a good question. I don't know why the reindeer have to fly in Santa Claus' story. I guess to explain how he can travel all over the world in one night.
N: Mom?
Mom: Yeah.
N: I want to live in Alaska when I grow up.
Mom: Sounds good. There are a lot of things in Alaska that you want to see. I can understand that you want to live there.
N: Are there reindeer there?
Mom: Yeah. But they're called caribou in Alaska.
N: Do people have sleighs?
Mom: I bet a lot of people do. I've only been to a small part of Alaska once and I didn't see any sleighs but I bet there are.
N: I want to go there when I'm a kid, get a house and then move there when I'm a grown-up.
Mom: Any other plans you want to tell me about while we're at it?
N: I'm taking Mona with me.
Mom: Oh? Tell me your plans.
