So You're Calling Calvino A Liar?

Danny didn't believe the moon is made of cheese, so I read him the first story in Cosmic Comics*.

Danny: Is this really true?
Me: Are you calling Calvino a liar?
Danny:(Looking worried and serious) Er...no. Of course not.I didn't call him a liar.


Someday, this kid is going to find out how I've been filling his head with rubbish, and he'll bludgeon me to death. But eh, until then-good fun abounds.

*And we learned a new word: Peduncle. No, it isn't the friendly uncle that likes kids. A peduncle is a stem that bears a single blossom...and likes kids.
