The Hobbit | |

I just hit one of the coolest dad milestones. I'm reading The | |
Hobbit to my son. He's five, nearly six, and I've been talking it | |
up for the last couple days to get him excited. Tonight, he agreed | |
to listen to one page. | |
"If you like it," I said, "I can read a little more. If not, we | |
can read this other book tonight and try again later." | |
He agreed. He lifted a stuffed dragon to his chest and nestled | |
into a spot at my hip against his pillow. I looked down and he | |
looked back up. | |
A deep breath. | |
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." | |
He didn't want to stop at one. |
