bi_janus Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 My Son at Three (1978) Bi_janus Under the oak, on leaf-strewn lawn, the boy, solitary, bends, forearms on thighs, to observe some insect or worm. The breeze rustles hissing leaves. The boy, unthinking, among friends, puts finger to lips, and hushes the wind. Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Aren't they such a delight at age three? Why? Such fearless little men out to explore the world. Why? I dreaded the loss of the why stage because when that curiousity was satisfied then I would have to explain that most things had complex answers and went way beyond that simple why. Ah, to be three again. The innocence. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment
ChrisR Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Why are they such a delight at age three? Because they're out of the Terrible Twos!!! Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 The 'why' question, as people around three-year-olds know, isn't sheer curiosity. By asking it, the kid commands adults to interact with him, which is what the kid wants. Often he doesn't even listen to the explanation. He just like the fact he's getting the adult to talk to him. Which in itself is a wonderful thing. C Quote Link to comment
