Lilliputians

Isabele was staring at the fan in the window at lunch and I remembered a tidbit from Titus as a wee little one and thought I'd add the email from Titus to my mother and back.

Titus wrote (with my help):
"My mom said to ask you if you have Lilliputians that live on the tops of the ceiling fan blades at your house. They live on the ceiling fans here in Arizona and I really like them, so I hope that they live in Indiana too. I like to listen to them - they talk to me and sometimes I talk to them.
"Anyway - if you don't have any, that's okay, because I think I'm going to bring a few of the ones from the bedroom with me.
"See you in 2 weeks!"

My mother replied:

"Dear very wee Titus:

"I have REALLY good new for you. I was paying very close attention to a fan in our loft the other day and I noticed some movement there. On closer inspection I was astounded to note that there was an entire colony of Lilliputians living there. I was so shocked that I hurried to the other fans in the house to check and see if there were more. (We have three fans here at Grandmother's house) You will be thrilled to know, that I found two families of cousins to the Lilliputians living on the other fans. In fact. one family is living in the very room you get to sleep in when you get here. I spoke briefly with them and they said they had absolutely no intentions of vacating in the near future, so they will be here anxiously awaiting your arrival. I told them that you were coming and bringing a few AZ lilliputians with you. They said that would be great as the fan they are presently living on has five blades and they are only occuping four of them. They did say though, that they would prefer that you bring the very prettiest and most handsome of the AZ people with you. It would be good for their population (if you understand what I mean) Have a good trip. Grandmother Lisa and the Indiana Lilliputians."

The adults involved all got several good laughs out of that. Titus was 3 or 4 months old and loved to stare at the ceiling fans, so I made up the Lilliputian theory.
