Caleb's Funny Questions

I took Caleb to see "Secretariat" over the weekend. After, Caleb was disappointed. "Dad, they never told the secret."

"What secret, Buddy?"

"The horse's secret. What was his secret?"

"Caleb, I'm not sure what you're talking about. There was no secret."

"The 'tariat,' Daddy. The secret tariat. What was the secret?"

Reminded me of his burning question after his first viewing of Star Wars: Dad, if light sabers can stop lasers, why can't they stop tractor beams?

In my place

Since starting at his new school, Caleb has been very excited for me to see his classroom. So I went to work late the other day and took the chance to drive him to school. Once at his classroom, however, his priorities seemed to shift. Friends were waiting to be played with.

"What did you want to show me, bud?"

"Nothing, dad. You can go home now."

"OK, give me a kiss."

"I don't need one. You can go home now, dad."

Loud and clear little buddy.
