“Look, a pumpkin!” Ethan’s little hands stretched out in the middle of Menards, pointing at their Halloween yard displays.

“I know, I know… Dinosaurs are crazy… roar… I’m going to get a juice… I like robot movie (Wild Robot).” I looked up from my computer to see Ethan (almost 3) holding a toy phone to his ear, having a full-blown conversation.
