D________ A________ D________

My young sons, Agents 95 and 97, made Father's Day cards for me this morning, drawing in multimedia on construction paper. Agent 95 made an acrostic. He wrote the letters of "DAD" in large captials vertically:

D

A

D

And then he filled in a word beginning with each of those three letters. He's been working on his vocabulary this summer and apparently chose the first three words he found:

Delusional

Assimilated

Dodo

Remarkably apt, I thought.
