Fade In:
The room is lit with three of four bulbs in the overhead ceiling lamp in the boys' room. The children are snuggled up under Aaron's chin and he reads from a library book characterizing voices.
Aaron: "Then as Captain Amazing flew from the garbage can, the slimy creatures within called after him. Come back, don't go. Come back."
Andres: No, Dad. No. Um, can you read that part again, but this time, say it like they really want him to come back? Because the way you read it, I don't believe they really want the captain to come back. Say it like Gollum would say it. Scratchy. Whispery. A little bit scary. Okay? Go.
Dear, sweet, Andres!!! He's so blessed to have parents who understand so clearly the gifts he has and are able to channel them to good use. Watch out Peter Jackson!!! ;-)
