I have three nephews, 'Vh' is the eldest (4 years), 'Vg' and 'E' are identical twins (3 years).
Vh looks when his dad opens a can of soda.
Vh: Is that beer?
Me: No, I think it's soda.
Vh frowns and thinks.
Vh: What does beer do?
Since he has a fantastic memory and tends to remember things remarkably well, I have long ago decided not to give him half-assed answers.
Me: The alcohol in the beer alters how your brain works. For instance, too much alcohol and you lose your balance and sometimes your memory.
Vh frowns some more, then suddenly he grins.
Vh: I want beer!
Vg on the other hand was washing his hands at their day care. Next to the sink they have a picture of Mona Lisa. Suddenly Vg pats it and exclaims: "There's auntie!". According to my sister he thinks I look like Da Vinci's masterpiece..

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
