Oh, Johhh-n...?

The other day we went to a little mountain town. It was a fun afternoon—the kids rode ponies, we spied on baby birds in nests, apple pie was eaten. My favorite moment of the day was during a stroll through some outdoor shops of woodworking and things. I noticed Seth talking to a wheelbarrow.... (Huh?) It was full of artificial flowers and Seth was poking through them saying:

John? Johhhh-n? Where are you, John?

Me: Seth, what are you looking for?

Seth: John the spider. He's gotta be [lifts up more plants] somewhere.
[Sing-songy again] Johhhhh-n? Where did you go-oh?

Me: Oh, that's interesting. Did you lose a spider or something?

Seth: No. It says right there....

And he points to a sign propped up on the wheelbarrow's handlebars that says, first, the name of a small business, then:
you can always find John on the web 
at blahblahblah.com

This completely made my day.
