The Eucalyptus

Not long ago, we took Enoch to a regional park with a little farm. I am in the habit of narrating our activities, so I like to point out things that appeal to all the senses. "Enoch, look at the birds. What color are the trees? What is that sound?" Well, at some point we walked along a path lined with eucalyptus trees (which have a distinct smell), with leaves rustling in the wind. I said, "Enoch, do you smell the eucalyptus?" Enoch, eyes wide with a look of horror, took off running. When I finally caught him he proclaimed, "No, mommy, no, you-clip-us!!!" Apparently, he thought "eucalyptus"was some type of animal that lived in the "forest". And while he wasn't sure about how a "you-clip-us" looked, he was definitely NOT interested in meeting one. Next lesson... the properties of wind. :)
