brigidNiko’s greatest love is dinosaurs.
After that, though, he loves mysteries. Also: trains, cars, My Little Pony, and Chicago’s architecture. But he’s really keen on mysteries and went through a phase where he was super into “The Great Mouse Detective” and “Busy Town Mysteries.” If someone is looking for something, his first question is ‘well, where is the last place you saw it?’ which is a pretty helpful question to ask.
He was helping me clean the dining room yesterday, running a microfiber cloth around the molding and windowsills and chair legs to dust them. Then he wandered off. I needed that cloth so I could dust the tops of some things, so I called him back into the dining room to ask him where it was.
“Hm,” he said, rubbing his chin. “Hm. It sounds like A MYSTERY.”
“Dude, just tell me where it is. Where did you put it?”
“I didn’t put it! It’s lost. It is… A MYSTERY.”
He walked over to his easel and flipped the paper out of the way, picked up a chunky piece of yellow chalk and tapped it against the chalk board.
“What did it look like?”
“What do you mean what did it look like? You just had it.”
He tapped the chalk board again.
“WHAT did it LOOK LIKE mama?”
“It was a yellow square of microfiber cloth.”
“Uh huh. Uh huh. AH HAH.”
He drew a close approximation of a square on the chalk board.
“A yellow square. OF CLOTH. Where is the last place you saw it?”
“You were dusting the window sill with it. Did you take it into the living room to play with?”
“I must LOOK FOR CLUES. You wait here.”
He ran off and came back with it.
“FOUND IT. I found it. SOMEBODY put it… IN THE LIVING ROOM. Another mystery solved!”
