Profound Observations


Wherein Our Heroine Solicits the Wisdom of a Three-Year-Old.

"Oscar's green a little bit. So's Marvin the Martian."

"Jill, you're silly."

"I have four dolls. This one has a bottom."

"John, look at me!"

"We're gonna go see fish. Like Nemo."

"Pandas can't swim."

"We're making footprints."

We're visiting our friends Marie and Mark. They have a three-year-old, Amelia. She has a sometimes solemn, sometimes silly take on the world, reported from a view about three feet from the floor and conducted from morning to bedtime. For those who have children, this is probably not novel. For John and me, it's a near constant crack-up.

She is a small person with big opinions.



Which she shares.

I guess that means she fits in very well with the rest of us.
