“It’s a space ship! Alex, I know it’s a space ship!” Michael points frantically with his right hand.
“Michael, it’s a water tank! Mom tell him it’s a water tank.” Alex dismissing his little brother as Mom drags them across Green Park.
“Alex, when I get bigger. .. I’ll go up there and fly off with out you! I’ll look down from Jupiter at you and laugh. You’ll be sorry. You’re be here all by yourself!”
“Michael, you are stupid! You get soaked climbing in there and I’ll have to climb up there to get you out.”
“Boys! No-one is stupid! Got it! It’s what ever he wants it to be! We’re late for doctor. So fighting is over.” Mom gives the look every child knows.
Usually the clue phrase in our car was… You don’t want me to have to pull over and stop the car…

I’ve heard a few conversations like that! And seen a few mums direct that ‘look’ at their kids. 🙂 Lovely story.

Yep they happen everyday. I love just how the subject is treated by the smallest of kids. It really changes about how different we see the world around us. And yes I still know the mom look.

Children have such imaginations but you never know the kid who thought he will go up and fly could be right. He might actually just fall off the tower too… Great writing.

Flying is no more than the art of missing the ground. Which kid didn’t try to jump off a roof at one time?

I spent some time doing either really stupid things or figuring out what my limits are. Since I never broke anything, I’ll go with figuring it where my limits are. 😀
