The boys seem to share some deep conversations to/from swim lessons. Not sure what inspires them. Yesterday, this was their discussion on the way to the lesson:
Zach: Geeebe, did you know there are volcanoes near water?
Gabe: Yes.
Zach: And the lava is like fire.
Zach [to me]: Mom, is fire real?
Me: Yes, Zach. It's real.
Gabe: Yea, and the lava is so hot.
Zach: Gabe, can you dig to the center of the earth?
Gabe: No.
Zach: Gabe, why did God make danger?
Gabe: God didn't make danger.
Zach: But God made everything and there's danger.
Gabe: Danger has to be here because there are predators and predators have to fight other predators.
I can't remember how the conversation went after that. But, seriously, how smart is Gabe? That was such a great explanation for why danger exists in the world! I think that I was so stunned by his response that I couldn't concentrate on remembering after that. Love them!
