Top! Top!

For weeks, I've come home to Rai shouting, "Top! Top!" This is always accompanied by a frantic arm motion as Rai stretches his arms as high as they can go (which isn't very high).
"What did you do today, Rai?"
"Top! Top!" Again, his arms reaching for the sky.
It took me a week or two to figure out what he was talking about. It turns out that on many of those days that Grandma and Grandpa steal Rai away from Mom, they've been going to the new de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Sure, admission is pricey, but the elevator ride to the top of the tower is free! In the 9th floor observatory, one feels like they're on top of the world. Well, on top of San Francisco maybe. Umm, okay, not even that, but you certainly do feel like you're on top of the trees in the Park!
Now, with that keen memory of his, Rai never fails to remind us of the "top, top!" whenever we drive through the Park and, if the tower comes into view, then there's no way of getting out of an elevator ride to the top... of Rai's world!
