Yesterday the boys and I were out running an couple errands. We stopped at Kroger, and Kellen ran in to get the one thing we needed, while Nolan and I stayed in the car. The Salvation Army bell guy was set up and working. Nolan asked me what that was for. I explained to him that they collected money to help poor people.
Nolan: You mean people who don't have money to buy food to eat.
Me: Yes
Nolan: They should give them some fruit and seeds.
Me: Fruit and seeds to eat?
Nolan: No. Fruit to eat. Seeds to plant a garden and grow their own food.
Quite a bit of wisdom in that statement made by my five year old, I think.

Nolan for president. I like the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteNolan for President? Sounds a little scary, but of it could be worse....
ReplyDeleteGenetically modded or non?
ReplyDeleteI second Nolan for president. They have HUGE halls and rooms that he can always "roll" through if he doesn't feel like walking anymore.
ReplyDeletePS...we used to have Kroger and I loved it but now its Harris Tetter :(
