Under Table Reading

“Here we are Daddy”, Benji said, proud of their new place. He and his brother decided to crawl under the dining room table while we prepared lunch recently. He well knows his mother doesn’t approve of hiding under the table, but highly approves of reading, so he and Davey brought books with them to this space in order to seek a loophole to the under table prohibition. It worked for a while, until lunch was ready and she called to them repeatedly to come out. The process of establishing and maintaining boundaries is a constant and ever challenging task especially as the boys become wiser and more clever.
