It’s been a long week. My family is a lot of work… well, like the old people in my family. And it’s been pretty emotionally tiring. So tonight I decided to take a break from all the crying and bickering and short tempters and dogs that bark and jump all over sad and tired people… and came to Windsor to stay with my aunt Mel (the one I look like). She has two little boys AJ and Will that I really wanted to see.
They are seriously the cutest things ever. (Maybe second to EllaBella… but not likely. They’re all on the same level with their own little things about them.) So it’s been a great night away watching the boys play, hanging out with Aunt Mel and Dwain and just relaxing. They’ve brainwashed little Will so much, he can tell you what hockey teams they don’t support, who is the best hockey and baseball team (Leafs and Tigers) and apparently - what the leafs do when they don’t make the playoffs. It’s too adorable.
EllaBella can’t say cute things like that yet. But I can buy her pretty clothes, so she makes up for it in that respect.
Anyway - I think the one thing I really loved about hanging out with Will is just his down right inquisitive nature. He asks questions about *everything* “Why?” he gets an answer “why?” again. Why why why. I wish we just kept asking questions like that for the rest of our lives. I think if we all thought like kids do, we’d get ourselves trapped into far fewer corners, and wouldn’t fall into so many scams, religions, corners and etc.
I remember sitting around the table with my parents friends one night and this same sort of topic came up. When do we stop asking why? And why do we stop asking? Do we get preoccupied with something else? or do we just stop wondering?
I think if there was one thing I would continuously teach other people - it would be to question. Does it make sense that that random woman can see into YOUR future or did she say something generic? Does it make sense that there is some omnipotent thing that no one can proove existance of? Where is you’re money ACTUALLY going when you donate it? … Just ask questions, and be skeptical about things.
Why why why. Why are my little cousins all so darned cute? I should have brought my camera this weekend. <3
Tomorrow is the memorial. It promises to be a long day.
