As a postscript, DH says I have to tell you all what happened today.

DH and DS are pulling weeds.  The weeds are too much for DS, who trots inside, 
comes back out with his kiddy Bible and starts reading (we imagine with a fair 
bit of reciting) to himself.  After entertaining himself like this for a 
while, he says, "Daddy, I can't wead pwoperly!" and goes off to do something 
else!  Must have hit a couple of hard words that he couldn't remember/work out!
