Wisdom of the 8 Year Old

Drop off at school in the morning is a little like Groundhog Day. The same people are on the same schedule and, unless you're late, you see the same faces every morning. So naturally, we saw Jerry dropping off John-Paul this morning and Maggie & Eion wanted to get out and walk in with them. After they got out, Morrigan asked me if JP had been held back. I told her no and asked why she would think that. "He's much taller than Eion." she replied.

Which is so true. So I told her that JP's Daddy is taller than her Daddy and E is kind of small for his age. "Well," she told me, "he must be much older than Eion." "No," I said, "they are only about 2 months apart. Why do you think so?" The million dollar reply, "He's allot smarter than Eion. I bet John-Paul gets to go to Plato."
