Conversations with a Child
As I’m watching the Michigan game my two and a half year-old son comes up to me and says, “Dad, can I go outside with my hat on?” This is his way of making a concession. He doesn’t like wearing his hat but maybe if he offers to willingly wear it, dad will be more likely to take him outside.
“No,” I respond, “it’s almost bed time.”
“BUT IT’S SUPER-SUNNY OUTSIDE!” (Actually it’s very much dusk here in Michigan, nothing even resembling sunny.)
Seriously, he’s two and a half. I’m in for it.
