Laurance and I were watching an excerpt from Nightline that they were doing on sharks. It was an excellent piece that spoke of the pirating of sharks for their fins. It was pretty upsetting and I started to cry. Laurance reached out and patted my back and said, "It's okay Mommy. They will have more baby sharks." I explained to him that the sharks cannot multiply that quickly, and he commenced to telling me a story he made up on the spot about a bull shark named Grasman.
I wish I could remember the whole thing, but it amounted to Grasman escaping the shark killers and turning back to kill 5,000 "China shark killers." The story was, to say the least, amusing. Even so, I noticed Laurance's eyes starting to water as he told the story of Grasman, Superhero bull shark.

I asked him if he could remember it so that we could write it down, but he was too tired. Maybe tomorrow.
I have to get some sleep now, this weekend we decorate for candy day, and I get to work on making Laurance into a pirate, of course.
