Yesterday, I spent part of my day with the son of a friend learning about watercolor techniques at Oil and Cotton. My adopted nephew is so much fun, he’s a sweet and interesting child who also has a silly sense of humor.

During our car rides and over lunch, we talked about what he likes to read (fantasy, but not fairy tales), what video games he likes to play (still Minecraft), what he likes to eat (cheese pizzas, strawberries and corn, but not kale).

We also talked about what’s going on in school. He shared with me that students at his elementary school have found nails and hairs in their food, and he’s drafted a petition to get the school to make changes. So far, he’s collected 50 signatures and hopes to collect another 50.
