What if ... 7-Year-Olds Made Sense?

The 7-year-old mind is inquisitive, full of questions and curiosity. We hear a lot of "what if" questions from our resident expert, Neva - questions ranging from the logical to the ridiculous. "What if I broke both my legs and had to use a wheelchair?" or "What if somebody said, 'You can't, I dunno, do something,' to somebody else?" (Yes, those were her exact words.)

But some things come so out of the blue, they make my head spin.

Last night I was kissing her goodnight and she was giggling like crazy as I nuzzled into that soft crook between her shoulder and neck. Suddenly she stopped laughing and asked:

"What if I had three feet? Wouldn't that be weird?"

Happy sweeping!
