Night says, “Good night.”
Day says, “Hooray!”
Evening says, “Meaning…?”
Afternoon says, “Macaroon.”

  1. LOVE it! My afternoons usually say “chocolate”, but macaroon would be good too :)

  2. Life – I’m pretty certain that chocolate would be the first choice for Jack’s afternoon, too. ;)

  3. perfect! i see he takes after his mother…loads thoughtfulness and humor, too.

  4. my afternoons say “coffee” so I can make it to the evenings!

  5. Cathy – He has ALWAYS been sort of a poetic child. Even when he was just talking, the words he chose always sort of blew me away.

    Bean-Mom – I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! :)

    Jo – My afternoons generally say “Nap.” :-)

  6. Kia ora Ophelia,
    There is so much going here about a day in the life of a child, and the word interplay is fantastic. So much said with so few words meaning so much. Rave on Jack!
