Owen's speech has developed enough that he can stroll in the realm between the surreal and the certifiable. For instance, this evening, holding a six-foot length of rope and looking at the sky, he announced, "Use rope to get that moon down. Need ladder."
Two observations as I blogged this:
1) Recognizing that he'd need a ladder if he was going to use his rope to pull down the moon isn't really surreal or certifiable, but actually sensible.
2) Owen's speech bears an uncanny resemblance to old text adventure games on the computer.
> Get moon down
Get moon down using what?
> Use rope to get moon down
The moon is too high for you to get.
> Need ladder
The shop on Archer Street sells ladders.

If he starts talking about being eaten by a grue, you need to start wondering how much time he spends on your computer...
LOVED those text games-- we had a Sherlock Holmes one that was particularly awesome. I always loved to shake things up and say things like >Sherlock shoots Holmes with gun. You know, or whatever.
PS-- Owen is a genius!
HA! I meant Sherlock shoots WATSON. Whew. Embarrassing.
