Genius on a train

Zora and I take the train from Chicago to Geneva every Tuesday evening, after I’m done teaching. She enjoys the ride. Today she started showing her smarts:

  1. The train announcer says, “The next stop will be … Geneva.”
  2. Zora looks thoughtful.
  3. She looks at me and says, “Go.”
  4. She hands me her bag and the stuff she had out during the ride, one object at a time.
  5. As I stand up to strap on my various bags, she also stands up and holds out her arms.
  6. I pick her up, and we head to the door. Minutes later, we’re outside, enjoying the snow.

—8:20 p.m.
