identification and solidarity

I found this lost image from almost a year ago, Benjamin leading the moose uprising:


His animal loyalties have moved on since then, as evidenced last Halloween.

Here's something his mother said the other day. She had scattered some finger foods on the table of his high chair, and he was trying to lower his mouth to them to eat them that way. His mother said,

Qu'est-ce que tu fais?	[ What are you doing? ]
Tu n'es pas un petit chien;	[ You're not a little dog; ]
tu n'es pas un petit chat;	[ You're not a little cat; ]
tu es un petit singe:	[ You're a little monkey: ]
mange avec tes mains!	[ eat with your hands! ]
