Thank God For Huckleberry Finn

After a long exhausting (but positive) day of classes and recruiting incoming first-year-students to the Film Club, I laid in Addison's bed and read chapter two of Huckleberry Finn aloud (and yes, that does mean that earlier this week we had a complicated conversation about the "N" word). The happiest moment of my day came when Addison's voice broke into a pure giggling question that demonstrated not only that he *got* some of Mark Twain's dry humour, but just happened to *get* one of my favorite passages that I had subjected Lynn to an aloud reading of the night before: the two of us laughed together for two whole beautiful perfect minutes.
