Eavesdropping with Matt (Episode Sixty-Two: Nature Runs Wild!)
Dedicated to the old Asian men riding their bikes down the bike path, who had stopped for a moment to rest beside the creek.
Man #1: Look at those dragonflies. The dragonflies are mating!
Man #2: Yes.
Man #3: They are cop-u-LATE-ing.

Escapism
Walking Z to school today, we chatted about the weather.
Z: Do you think it will get hotter than it was last week, when it was SO HOT?
Me: Yes.
Z: It was so hot that day that G [Z's best friend] and I couldn't even run at recess. We just sat under a tree in the shade.
Me: Did you just sit there and talk?
Z: Yes.
Me: What did you talk about?
Z: We talked about how cold it would have to be for it to snow enough that school would be cancelled. Then the trees would be white, and the sidewalk, and the fields. And then G said, "That's not going to happen, it's way too hot today." And I said, "You never know, Nature is a mystery."
