Jami And Her Future Calvin

We have most of the Calvin and Hobbes books. There are some strips that I've read a dozen times and I still giggle when I read them. I never realized that it might be predicting my future. Today in the car, Eddie yells "FERRIS WHEEL!!" in a rather alarmed manner. I glanced around, but didn't see any. Also, I didn't even know he knew that phrase or why that might be scary. "Where?" I ask. Eddie screams, "It's chasing us!! Drive faster, Mommy, drive faster!" From the panic in his voice, I had one of those surreal moments where I actually looked in the rearview, wondering if somehow something was chasing us. No ferris wheels, or wheels of any kind seemed to be following us, so I told him that we'd be safe when we got to Gamma's house. Apparently, they had to convince him that the ferris wheel followed me when I left. Then, when I tucked him into bed, he said "Close door! Close door!" Since I always do anyway, I asked why. His calm reply: "To keep dragons out." Well. Of course. It's only going to get worse from here . . .
