The Reality of a Four Year Old
Saturday night my niece spent the night for the first time. She was very excited to finally be sleeping over auntie’s house and the ride back to our house was full of four year old chatter. She pointed out everything that caught her eye from the car window.
Obsessed with planes since she could identify one, she began yelling “look, look, quick! A big plane!”
We both look out to where she is pointing up at the sky. I tell her, “That looks like an army plane”. We live close to a military base and often see low flying military planes as they descend to the base.
My niece remained quiet for a few seconds and then said, “you’re right. There are a lot of arms on it.”
