Hannah's been listening to Little House in the Big Woods on tape lately. She loves the Laura books, as she calls them. Michael's been reading her the whole series at nighttime, and they're on The Long Winter. We're about to find out how Almanzo and Cap did during the blizzard. It's very suspenseful.
However, the tapes of the first book are great quiet time listening, as far as Hannah is concerned. She's listened to them over and over and will say things like, "Mom, do you remember the time when Grandpa was chased by the panther?" Since I had forgotten that one, she retold it to me.
This morning, Hannah mentioned that she thought we should visit Wisconsin -- it's where this story is set, you know. She thought for a minute, then came this exchange:
H: Are there any wars going on in Wisconsin?
M: [trying not to laugh] I don't think so.
H: Are there still bears?
M: Probably.
H: Well, we'll just have to make sure we're not out after dark.
