REALLY GREAT NEPHEWS

The highlight of the day came when one of my lovely great nephews asked me if I'd walk him back to the camp site while the others came by car. He talked about dragons and witches until he'd scared himself. I was telling him these things only exist in stories, but he complained that once you started talking about them in the dark it was hard not to believe in them. We stood for a moment while I tried to distract him by pointing out the distant lighthouse, but he was still morose. Then he emitted a tiny fart. 'That makes matters considerably worse, ' he sighed.
