From the Mouths of 4-Year-Old Boys





We have a patch of dirt in our backyard that may one day become a splash pad, a garden, a backyard pond...there have been lots of plans for that patch of dirt. But for now, it serves wonderfully as a patch of dirt for boys to dig in.

The boys will have their friends over and say, "You wanna go dig?" And there friends always respond with a resounding 'Yeah!'.

Today, Ryan and his friend from pre-school were out digging in the dirt. I heard the following conversation in the midst of shoveling and throwing dirt:

R: Jason, do you want to be an old man someday?
J: No way
R: Why not?
J: I don't want to be fat and bald!
