Can You Dig It?


Drew is a digger. I like that about Drew. He is literally and figuratively a digger. He whiles away happy hours at the beach in the sand digging and digging, deeper and deeper. And when the tides destroy his work, he cheerfully starts again on a new project, digging and digging, deeper and deeper. I see lots of younger children digging at the beach. I rarely see kids of Drew's age so intent on their digs.

Drew digs even when there is no sand to be dug. Questioning everything, he always wants to know who, why, where, when, what. Full of questions and inquisitive to the core, not much gets past Drew. Whether with a shovel or a computer or pencil and paper, Drew is always digging. Should he hear of something he doesn't know, chances are he'll google it. Isn't it great that google has become a verb? It's an action word, much like digging. Drew's digging and googling have me wondering if diggling should be a word. I'll see what Drew thinks.
