Seeing the world like a kid

Posted by Terry Stevens on

PART I

ROSEMARY:  "I know what color Alaska is."

ME:  "Uh, really?  What color?"

ROSEMARY:  "Yellow."

ME:  "What makes you say that?"

ROSEMARY:  "That's what it looks like on the map."

ME:  "You think that's what color their soil is?"

ROSEMARY:  "Don't be silly daddy.  It probably looks just like ours."

 

ALASKA

PICTURED:  Alaska, not yellow (except for where the huskies go).

 

PART II

While driving to work, I saw a kid standing at a bus stop, fascinated by the sight of snow falling on his outstretched glove.  Pure wonder in his eyes.

 

WONDER

Like this, only older, more bundled up and in color.

 

PART EYE EYE EYE:

While driving to work yesterday, I saw a kid being dropped off of his schoolbus next to a bar.  He proceeded to walk into the bar. I wonder what fills that kid's world with wonder.
