I was cleaning out some old folders in my email account today, and I came across this short note that I recorded from five years ago (2015), back when Sam and his best friend Lewis P. were only seven years old. I have a vague memory of typing these overheard bits really quickly, during some afternoon when Lewis was over at our house for a playdate.
Any adult who has interacted with Lewis knows that he's a rare gem. He likes to speak in a matter-of-fact way and likes to use vocabulary that is educated and precise. I want to make sure that these quotes are saved for us (and Sam) to remember. I like that he associates jedis with ragged clothes:
- Lewis [while pretending]: But I don't look like The Chosen One. How can this be, when I have raggy clothes?
- Lewis [pretending to be a second person who is responding]: Well, that's what jedis wear...sometimes.
- Lewis [while praying over a meal]: "We hope everyone lives a long life. And we hope that you, God and Jesus, live long lives too."
