snowman

penny wanted to use the video camera, so i told her she could make a movie of eli. the problem is, i don't actually trust her to get within swinging distance of the device, so her responsibility in "making" the movie was to prompt eli. i told her she could tell him to speak, sing, jump, play, etc. she directed him to "make a poem". quite surprisingly, eli gathered himself for a moment, stood up, and proceeded to recite this winter themed children's rhyme which none of us had ever heard, and which we can only assume was the subject of a recent school activity. what can i say? pen gets the best out of her actors.
