Casper, on tents
Nov. 23rd, 2008 04:35 pmWe have set up the pup tent in the dining room, after some leaf-raking (for which Casper was enthusiastically helpful, during the first 10 minutes, anyway, and Dillo shuddered at leaf-blowers a block away and clutched cheddar bunnies to his chest.)
Casper just explained to Dillo: "People like to stay in tents. Some people even live in tents! My old grandfather used to live in a tent, and then he came to America."
Note: both of Casper's grandfathers were born into middle-class American splendor, in Cleveland and Boston, respectively. All of her great-grandparents were born in the US also. None of them, to my knowledge, ever lived in a tent.
