Secrets

 

"I have a secret workshop, and I’m not allowed to tell you about it. But you’ll probably find it anyway, because of the sign."

The Bull of Happiness

 

An actual exchange between me and my seven-year-old niece:

 

REMY: (a propos of nothing) The Bull of Happiness!

 

ME: The Bull of Happiness? What’s that?

 

REMY: It’s just a bull that eats everybody and makes everybody sad.

 

It’s official. I have nothing left to teach this child.
