wondering



while humming mickey-mouse-club-song (ol' school), eating chickpeas, and playing with a fading balloon, cosmo drops the following questions on me:

i wanna know who i am.

i mean, how did i be this person?

how does everybody turn into people?

how do they be theyselves?

how do they grow?

all i could manage in response was to tell him that they were excellent questions.

I think you did well to not feel like you had to have a response right away. Those are amazing, stunning questions. This is a boy who really wants to know, in the deepest sense. Wow.

you have a little deep thinker.

it almost breaks my heart, the questions avery has about the world. sometimes i feel unprepared to answer things and i think it's okay to explain that grown-ups don't always have all the answers.

you and cosmo will find out together.
