Fiver

We just started reading Watership Down together yesterday. The title was familiar to me, but for some reason I always thought it had something to do with naval battleships. So am I the only one who was surprised it was about bunny rabbits? I bookmooched it on the recommendation of the very wise book goddess that works at Borders on 175 in Columbia. People, this woman knows *every* book ever made. She's quite amazing. I always walk out of there with a stack of books when she happens to be working. I have no idea what her name is, though. I should probably learn that. So I can make an appropriate shrine to her in my basement or something.

We're taking a brief break in school right now and the children are playing rabbits. DP has the role of Fiver and Fizz is Hazel. DP was born to play Fiver. She's running around shrieking about premonitions of danger and blood. Lots of blood. Which pretty much is how she always roleplays, but at least now she has some literature backing her up. It's less creepy that way, isn't it? No, no, random person at the playground, she's not morbid, she's pretending she's that little bunny rabbit from Watership Down! Oh, how very erudite of her - not scary at all, play on!
