Ryan was a riot, as usual. He chatted up each of the characters we passed. He asked them who they were, what they were doing, why they were doing it, and often asked for further clarification, or added his own commentary/ thoughts to the responses he received. I don't think the students were used to so much conversation from a little kid. This particular encounter was really amusing, because the characters were sirens- you know like from The Odyssey. As the kids walked by, they beckoned to them, saying, "Come closer, so we can take your soul!" All the time they had beautiful smiles and seemed very friendly. Ryan asked them, "What souls are?" He got no answer from the sirens, who were kinda stumped as to how to give an answer that a 3 year old would understand. Then he asked, "What you want em for?" Also, the sirens hadn't prepared an answer to this question. "Finally, he figured it out. "Oh- You tricking??" Yes. Yes. that's it. He pronounced them very silly.
