Henry Griffin . . . two year old zen master?
Or an alternate title might be, "Ask a silly question . . . " A conversion around the kitchen table at snack time today:
Papa: So Henry. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Henry: A dinosaur!
Papa: Uh, . . .
Waverly: (laughing) You can't be a dinosaur!
Henry: No, no! A butterfly! I be a butterfly.
Papa: Well, . . .
Waverly: (Still laughing a little) He likes the sound of a butterfly flying.
Papa: The sound of what?
Waverly: You know . . . (starts silently pantomiming a butterfly in flight around the table).
Henry: Yea, yea. I be the sound of a butterfly.
