Nothing could be so boring as to hear doting grandparents detail the exploits of their grandchildren. However, I am the stereotypical grandmother, so I have to write this one up. Vake is the four-year-old son of a lawyer father, a lawyer mother, and a lawyer grandmother, but his latest passion isn't law, it's construction. His heros are Bob and Builder and Bob's friend Muck. When we planned to take a drive to see a national monument near Brook's house in New Hampshire, Vake wanted to bring his toy bulldozer along. His mother explained that he could bring the 'dozer in the car, but he'd have to leave it in the car when we got to the park. "That's unfair and unjust!" he protested, and added, "How could you be so heartless?"
Uncle Brook nearly broke himself laughing, so any effort at discipline failed.
