Henry

Getting e-mail from my ten-year-old cousin never fails to make me smile. An excerpt from yesterday’s:

The other day I saw two great movies, one on DVD, and one in theaters. The DVD was Stand By Me, which is based on Stephen King’s novella, The Body. It was mostly about some pre-teens in the summer that go looking for the body of a boy who got hit by a train. The boys have some good times, some scary times, and some funny times, like when the main character finds a leech on his balls and faints. The other movie was Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World.

So precocious, so ten. Awesome.

Mark writes me letters every now and then at school. They’re nowhere near as complex or in depth as Henry’s are (i.e. Today in school we drew a picture. I hope we get the dog soon), but still pretty cool.

Btw, leech on the balls thing…priceless. I laughed out loud when I read that.

For a kid, he’s pretty verbose. I know I couldn’t write that well as a kid.
