When Flynn and I go to the bank, he insists on sitting at the desk in the lobby and drawing a "map" on deposit slips. To the untrained eye, the map is a bunch of scribbles. To him, the scribbles include where we are, how we got there, and some hidden challenges along the way.
The upper right is our house. The lower right is the bank and the bank's main doors. The challenges are in the middle. |
On the other side of yesterday's map was a drawing. And here's the story he told me to go along with it.
Once there was a sea monster who lived under the water. No one ever saw the sea monster because he was invisible. One day, along came a fish. He said to the sea monster, "You need to come on land. That's where all the food is," he explained. The sea monster went on land and got the food. The End.
You can see the sea monster on the left. |
The bank employee who was assisting me had no idea what to make if this. I was impressed he used the word "explained".
