We bought Jimmy a telescope for his birthday.
He’d stay up late and watch the stars.
Two or three in the morning, we’d have to drag him back inside.
He proposed a new schedule. He’d wake up at dusk, go watch the stars all night, and then go to school.
When he got home from school, he’d go to sleep.
It’s not like he did any afterschool stuff, like football or baseball or even the chess club.
He thought about starting an astronomy club.
But other parents weren’t as willing to let their kids flip their schedule like we were.
