Like I observed a month or two ago, Christian is still at the age where everything is possible; his innocence allows him to believe that this world is full of magical possibilities, such as an omniscient Mama.
I was reminded of this again today, when I was showering him and he was nattering on about how the children of his Chinese teacher are grown up, and protect the country. He emphasized..”They fly the jet planes you know!” When I said Daddy was in the army previously, and told him he’ll be in the army when he grows up next time, he impatiently said “No…They are not in the army..! They are… H Lao Shi told me but *slightest pause here* i cannot tell you. It’s my secret.”
I smiled to myself – “It’s a secret because you cannot remember right?”
*pause*
Ch: “How do you knoooow, mama?”
