Today, I trailed behind two 9-ish boys on my way home from the gym. Here is the conversation verbatim:

"I bet you don't even know where Iraq is, dummy."

"Yuh, huh, it's in Iran."

"No, it's not you idiot. They're not even on the same continent."

"Yuh, huh, they are too."

"Nuh, uh. Iraq's bad you idiot."

"Whatever. My Dad's still voting for Obama. I gotta go to flag football."

I love that you tune in.


Its the "whatever" part that freaks me out.

DISMISSAL.

I'd love to have been there to see what started the convo. I don't think I would have cared about anything but sports at 9 years old.


The struggle between wanting to keep children protected and wanting to make sure they are not blind....

but could his dad beat up Obama's dad? ... that's what really matters here.

CHILDREN are so in tune with wisdom and intelligence that they don't know they have!!

This conversation just goes to show that if parents don't educate their children, the
children just won't know.

They will try informing themselves, by talking to each other, but then tha ends up being more
like the blind leading the blind.

Obviously, the parent voting for Obama knows something, that he is not communicating to his son.

But what is his intention behind that?
Is he protecting his son?
By "protecting" his son, he is only quite literally putting him in the line of fire.


I always overhear convesations, rarely as amusing and at the same time important
as this, for the whole world.
