Signs that your son is going to be a writer
1. He has a clown doll named Toody.
2. He starts an after-school coloring club in second grade but kicks everyone out after 30 minutes because they are not coloring in the lines well enough.
3. He spends hours playing make-believe in his bedroom.
4. He begs Santa for a nativity scene for three years, and when he finally gets one he spends hours every Christmas re-creating the manger scene in full dialogue.
5. He starts a cassette-taped "radio station" for the household, reporting menus of the day and events from work and school.
6. On "B" day in sixth grade he goes dressed as a giant banana, with black knee-high pantyhose over his head to replicate the end of the banana.
(This one's for you, Mom and Dad. Thanks for your patience all those years and for teaching me that weird = normal.)
