then what is it, Beni?

Hope springs eternal in the Wedekid breast.

Alice and Dill will grow up to be archaeologists who hunt for buried treasure. And yes, archaeologists use bad words out in the field. I used to be an archaeology student myself. Not sure about tunneling to Disney World, which is built on a swamp.

Never seen Dill so happy!

Alice secretly hopes it is a bad word.

Dill is just as tall kneeling as he is standing. He’s a born tunneler!

I hope it’s a diagram for rebuilding our infrastructure.

Alice has her mind in the gutter

Let’s all go, Dill!

Maybe it’s an instruction where to put the next crop circle. Or just a pothole, but they won’t attract attention.

Three differing four-year-old minds exemplified. Beni is skeptical. Alice is adamant in her ignorance. Dill is maniacally optimistic and a bit flighty….

They’re doing it all over my town just to mess up traffic patterns — Alice is right!

It’s a dance instruction. I saw one just like it at camp this summer. A little girl put removable tape on the dance floor to show where to walk a line, where to twirl, and where to hop. She called it the hop-stickle course.
