A few moments ago, as Allan (our 6 year old) was trying to solve a cube, he shared with me his current frustrations:
Him: Have you ever solved a cube before?
Me: Nope!
Him: I am trying to solve this cube but my brain is still just thinking about dinosaurs. I don’t know why my brain is thinking about dinosaurs but it just is. Brain, please stop thinking about dinosaurs! Knock it out!
My favorite part of this whole ordeal is that he was 100% serious. He was honestly and truly telling his brain to stop thinking about dinosaurs so he could concentrate on the task at hand. And don’t get me started on his honesty! His candidness was so cute and innocent and funny to me. Allan, more so than the other two right now, is really into telling us his every thought lately, much to our enjoyment, of course.
I want to remember these little sayings forever.
