The Boy says...

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.01.16

Tonight in the bath I asked The Boy, "Who is papa?" He looked at me, pointed and said, "you". It was the first time he'd said "you" as far as we know. It's also the first time he's answered a question like that.

Then I asked, "Who's the boy?" He smiled, and pointed to himself.

Then I asked, "Who's your mother?" He looked at the door, then pointed.

Good lad! Doesn't speak much English but he sure understands.

You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government. And, with due respect for these gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.

—George Bernard Shaw
