“I want to make a film with Mike Tyson about the early Frankish kings.”

I mean, get in line, buddy.

Truth from the Mouths of Babes

  

"It's hard to spot marshmallows when you're so short."
-Remy

Fashion

  

"I don't like your outfit because it's not PINK!"
-Kiva, unprompted

Secrets

 

"I have a secret workshop, and I’m not allowed to tell you about it. But you’ll probably find it anyway, because of the sign."

 

-Remy, 7

The Bull of Happiness

 

An actual exchange between me and my seven-year-old niece:

 

REMY: (a propos of nothing) The Bull of Happiness!

 

ME: The Bull of Happiness? What’s that?

 

REMY: It’s just a bull that eats everybody and makes everybody sad.

 

It’s official. I have nothing left to teach this child.

Vibes

 

The coffee shop had a sign on the door that said “Good Vibes Only,” so just as an experiment, I walked in with a really bad vibe.

Was thrown out immediately. They are NOT kidding around with that stuff.

Philosophy

 

Sometimes I think that the whole purpose of philosophy is gratitude, and that any line of thought which does not end in gratitude is simply a waste of time.
