Another wedding last Saturday. Dori (seated next to me at dinner) talked AT LENGTH about refurbishing countertops, her husband's chocolate obsession, and the bodily manifestations of old age. Adults are boring.
I found a five-year old named Haley who wanted to know:
1. How do flowers get petals? [They have all the information for petals in their seeds from the very beginning, but they need water and sunshine and sometimes a little bit of fertilizer. I can not possibly give you the whole story. There is so much to discuss in the way of plant and human development.]
2. Was I six? [Um, no. But 24 is 4 times that big.]
She had some things to teach also:
1. Jesus had the bear tree. [Wha? Where is the interpreter? Use this little card and point to the language you speak.]
2. Lightning goes into your skin like this (shrreeeeeeehhhhh) [Oh. Cool. I've never seen lightning go into someone's skin, but it sounds loud and scary.]
3. My knees hurt and I know that it is time for bed. [Did Dori put you up to this?]
