The Brain vs. The Heart
Have I mentioned that I am consistently amazed at the ability of my children to blow my mind on any given day at any given moment? No? Well let me just tell you, I am amazed at the ability of my children to blow my mind on any given day at any given moment! So there now I have said it. This post was completely inspired by my 7 year old son, Gabriel.
While sitting at the kitchen table about a week ago reading, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my son was scribbling on a notebook like he does a lot. I went back to reading. He then interrupts to ask me, “Dad, how do you spell brain?”.
Without looking up I say, “B-R-A-I-N”.
He then says,”Thanks. Now how do you spell heart?”
So I oblige much as I did for the word brain. He then says,”How do you spell versus?”
OK now he has my interest. “What are you drawing?” I ask him.
“I’m drawing a story” he tells me. ”A story about the brain vs. the heart.” I then ask him to tell me the story. He proceeds with such innocence and pride of his work.
