the Scientist: "Mama? The Golden Apple?"
Me: "You mean Eris'?"
the Scientist: "Yeah."
Me: "Yeah?"
the Scientist: "It's here?"
Me: "Here? Where?"
"No, I mean, The Golden Apple."
"Eris' golden apple?"
"Is it here?"
"What?!"
The Scientist began to take deep breaths.
Me: "What do you mean?"
the Scientist: "The chapter, The Golden Apple."
"From the Iliad!"*
"Yeah."
Me: "Let's go make an offering before you read that."
*Actually a chapter in Rosemary Sutcliff's retelling of the Iliad, the best one for children who want the meat of it.
