I Don't Know What (to do with this kid)

Last night, LM was giving me the tour of the "fortress" he had made on and around the couch. He showed me the boxes he had used to block out the dog, the step stool that served as the door, even the chirping bird that served as a doorbell. When he finished he said, "I don't know, Mom, I think it's missing that, je ne sais quoi."

"Je ne sais quoi?!"

I'm sending in his Harvard application.
