Kaedon talked for a few days about how fun it would be to be a king. I started to worry about him, thinking he had some issues with control or power. (or materialism) So, one day I asked him why he wanted to be a king. He said "so I could choose which animal is the symbol of my kingdom." So simplistic. Pretty cute little nature-loving dude.
Another one, heard this on "Car Talk," has special meaning for me this week. (don't ask) One of the Car Talk bros said to the other, "I'm not much of a bath man myself, I'm more of a cologne man [raucous laughter]." I love how hard those guys laugh at their own jokes. Makes me laugh just hearing them laugh at themselves.
We watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (fun, good movie, but I thought it was a bit heavy for my kids). In the film, Natalie Portman's character feels inadequate to fill shoes of "departing" Mr. Magorium--she is plagued with self-doubt. Only when she begins to believe in herself and that she has magic within does she revive the departed Mr. Magorium's store. At one point, Mr. Magorium says to her: "your life is an occasion. Rise to it." Them's inspirin' words.
