So I see this tatoo on Bryce's arm....but he told me it WASN'T a tatoo. It was his new language. Something called "tionel" or Lionel or Leona? I can't remember now. But it apparently was a new alphabet and looked vaguely like Chinese. And he can translate it.
And I thought it was enough that he was learning to read English ...now he's created a new language. Or at maybe he's just wanting to be able to communicate in code.
