This was Noah, kneeling next to Miles' bouncy chair, exclaiming at top volume. Yet fraternal Armageddon was not in the offing. This was sibling education in action. Miles was meant to be play-acting Rosa Parks; Noah, the bus driver compelling her toward the back of the bus.
You've got to hand it to Quaker day care. The first day Noah kept his diaper dry for the duration was also the dedicated to teaching the Montgomery bus boycott. Noah told us all about it when we picked him up. In order. Including the part about the posting of bail.
"Rosa Parks got on that bus, and the driver said, 'Give up that seat!' Then the police came, and took her to jail! Then they went to give money for bail. Then they had a boycott. Nobody rode on the bus! And then Doctor King changed the bad laws into good laws. Then everybody could sit on the bus."
Miles took it in ... peacefully.
