This little gem comes via third hand knowledge. Heather (my wife) told me that she was working out in the back yard on this past Saturday. Her birthday was the next day (May 2nd). Lauryn was out in the back yard with her and they were pulling weeds. This is an unfortunately large task of our back yard, especially with the massive amount of wind we get, which I am confident carries weed spawn from hundreds of miles away, and our back yard tends to be a primary landing zone.
Anyway, Heather looked at Lauryn and said, "Do you want to know what my birthday wish is?" Lauryn of course wanted to know. Heather told her "I wish we had no more weeds!"
Lauryn gave her a little look and said "Hope that works out for you mom."
The wisdom there is almost too great to comprehend. We all know that Heather's wish is just a wish, but for a 5 1/2 year old to be able to recognize that this is not likely is, in my humble opinion, incredible.
They never cease to amaze me.
Man, I miss them and their wisdom!
