Pointer: be six

"Can you spell Venezuela?"

A dad asked this question of his six-year-old last night, and I had the privilege of hearing her spell it. Flawlessly.

"How old are you?" I asked.

"Five. No, six. I always forget."

"So what's your most favorite thing to do? What do you like to do for fun?"

"Hmm . . . I think the most fun thing for me is the feeling I get when everyone else is having fun too."

Man. I just need to be six.
