Life Perspectives from 6 & 7 Year Olds

As overheard on our way from Hist/Lit co op to Biology Lab from an assorted passenger list of my own children, other Biology students, and some others just along for the ride...

Assorted siblings and unrelated kids--  "Here Emily, here's a song for you and Colby"  (Can you feel the love tonight playing in the background from someone's ipod)  "You and Colby will be married someday...."  (sarcastic sighs from the back row)

Emily's older sibling-- "No Emily, you should marry Gus!"

Gus--"No Way!  I'm not marrying Anyone!"

Emily--"You're going to die an old and lonely man, Gus!"

Gus--  "Nope, I'm going to build a house, and live in Peace and Quiet!!"

                                        Hmmm.  Peace and Quiet...what fun would that be?

  1. Gus: Mountain Man. That sounds plausible.

  2. Ha! Gus is shortened from Augustin, so I like to think we gave him options. :)
