Little Johnny Stories I:
When my son Johnny was six months old I bought him a toy called Klack ‘n
Klatter for his first Christmas. It was a triangular shaped little car with
beautiful primary colors. I was a new daddy and proud of my $10 Christmas gift.
He, of course, had no idea what “Christmas gift” meant, so naturally he didn’t
know what to do with it. I remember thinking at the time, ‘little kids, even
ones as brilliant as MY son, need to learn everything, even what to do with a
Christmas present” - because he didn’t
know how. So we unwrapped it for him.
And when he took the car out of the box
he proceeded to play with – the box!?
