Adolescentis profundis

June 6th, 2008, 1:53 pm · No Comments

So at lunch today, Julien began to wax philosophical about life, sort of thinking out loud about the life spans among different species. “Chickens don’t live very long,” he said. “But turtles, they can live to be a hundred years old.” And at that point, I figured it would be appropriate to say something profound and dad-like. I began, “Yeah, well, even within species, the circle of life is …” I struggled; I needed something profound! Quick! But Julien beat me to it: “The circle of life is kinda square.”

It was a good lunch.
