So it became a proverb, rather like the one coined on the spot by Bilbo: Never laugh at live dragons. It's so interesting to read about the origins of aphorisms! So we're reading aloud through the Old Testament together every night, and last night we were reading 1st Samuel, I forget which chapter, about the anointing of Saul. Samuel (to Saul): 'Go up to this mountain, where you will meet a man carrying three kids...' Michael: 'Hmm, must've been a homeschool dad.'
We are glad to report that the travelers made it to our house safely last night, and way ahead of schedule. We made popcorn and lost Clue to Michael.
