Watching the (Kedrosky) Detectives
Proud Dad moment, so feel free to skip over it. My 6-year-old son is newly infatuated with Encyclopedia Brown books -- which his Dad loved as a child too -- and he spontaneously made the following sign this week which is newly posted on the exterior of our house. (The smudging is my own for privacy.)
Makes me absurdly proud.

Encyclopedia Brown rules. Paul, please forward my contact info to your son. I figure at 25 cents, I might as well take a flyer on using him for some investigative projects I have.
I'll let him know, but he's very busy (as he told me last night).
Funny coincidence - I was just thinking about Encyclopedia Brown last night as I was strolling home from work. Not having read these books for around 25 years, I was wondering to myself whether or not my now-3 year old would find these books relevant when he reaches the appropriate age. I'm glad to see that the books that got me jazzed as a kid might just hang on long enough for my kids. Perhaps I should go back and read these... certainly more fun than TAFs/TSLFs.
Thats ridiculously fantastic. Not only imaginative, but entrepreneurial. We should all be so lucky.
Wow. I did the same thing, some 25 years ago. I was the "Little D" in the "Big B and Little D Detective Agency" and we never failed a case. (Of course, we never got a case, but still...)
