Tomorrow night we're going to see Sarah Chang play the Sibelius Violin Concerto. We've been listening to it, and talking about it... preparing for it...

Me: Benny, do you remember when you went to see Hilary Hahn, with Daddy?
Benny: Yes. She played some very loud music.
Me: Are you excited? Tomorrow is the day we go see Sarah Chang!
Benny: Oh YES!!! I'm so excited because I love to meet new people!!!
Me: Oh, okay!
Benny: I love to chew on sleeves and towels!!!!

UH!? First, I love the fact that goign to see visiting violin prodigies really feeds his need to meet new people. I'm sure Hilary Hahn, Joshua Bell, and Sarah Chang, et al, would be glad they were making such an impact. Second, sleeves and towels? Is there some sort of... line that can be drawn, connecting those things? I mean? Really?
