So my 6 year old says to me today, "Mommy, can I be God when I grown up?" I answered, "What do you think?" (my typical response when I either, 1)don't know how to respond, or 2) don't want to get into a long explanation.) Her response to me was, "Yes, I think I can. But actually, I want to be the President of the United States. No, I want to be a news lady. Actually, I think maybe a doctor. Actually, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up." The entire thought was said like a stream of consciousness in less then 5 seconds--she didn't even really think about it at all, the options just came tumbling out of her head without reflection, no doubt, fear, or stress. It was awesome. I love living through their little eyes....all day I kept thinking, what would I do if I wasn't scared to do anything? Signed, ME {lv}
