what it is

what it is

He wants to know what everything is.

If he sees something unfamiliar, he looks back at me like he’s asking, 
“What’s that?”

So I tell him. 
He listens. 
Then he looks at it again. 
And back at me.

He wants more.

So I explain. 
“It zaps the bugs. There’s a problem with flies here, especially near the dog run. It zaps them. It kills them.”

He watches it a second longer. 
Then looks forward again, 
as if to say, 
Alright, Dad. 
Next adventure.
