Niall and I were reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which leads up tensely to an exciting ending. The ending is the protagonist’s metamorphosis. I sound like a literary snob. No, the protagonist doesn’t undergo an emotional restructuring (presumably). The character literally metamorphoses. It’s a caterpillar. Hence the title.
We get to the last page and Niall, who has been building in excitement, shouts out “And a BUTTERFLY comes out of the raccoon!”
Another quick one. Niall and I were in the car, stopped at a light. He shouts impatiently from the back seat “The light is red! Go!”

I am reading that book to Sarah quite often. That caterpillar sure was hungry!
