Moving Mountains

While making lunch today Allen happened to say "You know what? I know how to move a mountain." I thought he was telling me a joke that he learned at school but I was wrong. "Really? How do you move a mountain?" "Well, you just need a seed." I think I know where this is going now.... "A seed, huh. Who told you all this?" "Daddy did." "Well your daddy is pretty smart. What kind of seed do you need?" "Oh it really doesn't matter. You can use any kind of seed, as long as you have enough faith. And then you can move a mountain." Doesn't quite have the lesson right, but he's close. He said it so matter-of-factly. Wouldn't it be great to still be as innocent as kids. To just really be able to believe all that you are told. Everything makes sense and is quite simple to them. Life can be just that simple, it's just that we adults like to complicate things with too much thinking.

Allen makes me smile :) I don't know what I will do when he is in school all day next year.
