don't leave. |
I’m sure most 8 year olds talk a lot. I have one that REALLY talks a lot. She shuts down at night and sometimes after meals but most of the time, “Dad? Guess what….” And so it goes.
Now, I know a good parent should be all filled with interest and listening intently, responding with, “Oh Really! When did she get that?” and “No. I don’t know why Molly’s Mom’s friend Bob stays over when her Dad goes away on business.” But come on! The human brain can only stand so much! It’s like one year the Ministry of Transportation hired students to sit in booths along the 400 series of highways and count cars.
They were throwing themselves into the traffic after 2 days. See? Only so much.
That being said, every once in a while some questions come out of her that make you think, “What kind of twisted neuron firing would pop out a question like that?”
So, I would like to present :A conversation with Brooke Kleefstra
Driving home from Soccer:
“Dad? Does God make it rain?”
Not wanting to get into the whole Creationism vs. Evolution thing, I answered, “I guess he made it so we HAVE rain but I don’t think he makes it rain. That’s more likely Mother Nature.”
“Who’s Mother?”
“Natures Mother. She looks after the plants and the animals and make it rain when they need it. When there thirsty.” Thinking to myself, “What a clever Dad”
“So she is the Mother of the plants?”
“That’s right”
“If plants are bad, would they get grounded?”
“Let’s listen to the Radio.” Says I.
A little time goes by.
"Dad? Are there clouds in space?"
"Nope"
"Why not?
"Because there's no air. It's a Vacuum"
"It must be very clean in space"
"must be" says I
A little more time goes by
“Dad? How come I can’t see my eyes?”
“You see THROUGH your eyes, Hun. You have to look in a mirror to look AT your eyes and see what they look like.”
“Can I lick a mirror to see what my tongue tastes like?”
I hesitate to think.
“Absolutely.”
You could write a book - I think most people usually take drugs to get on a tangent like that - little did they know you just need a kid's perspective!

Posted by: jeremie at June 23, 2004 9:07 AMthis is great stuff rob. just think, you'll ache for these simple conversations when she starts asking you about "lube" and "bisexuals".... maybe she'll start out with something benign like, "daddy, why did you lie about santa clause?"

Posted by: poker online games free game at September 7, 2005 12:10 AMdiamonds Everyone has observed how much more dogs are animated when they hunt in a pack, than when they pursue their game apart. We might, perhaps, be at a loss to explain this phenomenon, if we had not experience of a similar in ourselves.
