what children say

my son
when he was
six or seven
said a few
extraordinary
things such as
it seems that
women are trying
to trick men
by wearing
makeup and
to that he
added, you can
say beaver
dam, but you
can't say
damn beaver.
then there was
the one about
the trees that
looked
like they
were dancing
when the high
winds blew. and
then there was
the time he
said, with
him in my arms,
crying after
not giving him
what he wanted,
i still love you
dad, i'm just mad
at you.
