Mr. Mischief indeed



Micah "assists" his dada during the great lamp rewiring project over the weekend. The Mr. Mischief literary reference is to the fabulous Mr. Men and Little Miss Children's book series by British writer Roger Hargreaves. I highly recommend them. (I distinctly recall having Little Miss Chatterbox and Little Miss Bossy as a child, curious?) Plus they are filled with such wonderful British-isms like, "Mr. Grumpy has a shocking bad temper." or "'Rubbish!' retorted Mr. Grumpy" and "Mr. Skinny was extraordinarily thin."

Hmmm. I remember that same Mr. Man series, and yet the ones I recall having were Little Miss Naughty and Little Miss Trouble. Clearly these books are highly predictive and you should be careful which ones you read to Micah.
