Keilah: I think I’m going to be an author first before I’m going to be an entomologist.
me: How come?
Keilah: Because I’d have to go to college to be an entomologist, and I heard college is expensive! Maybe I can write and sell some books first.
Kealoha bursts into tears.
me: What’s the matter?
Kealoha: I want to go to college but I don’t like to spend moneyyyyy!
Keilah: It’s ok. If you work hard, you can get scholarships so someone else can pay for college. (Yes, this is how she really talks. She’s 7 going on 35. When her sister asks for another sibling, Keilah lectures her: “Do you know that a baby means another mouth to feed, another bed to buy? We’d need a bigger house…”)
Kealoha: (sniffles) It’s ok! I don’t have to go to college! I’m going to be a gardener instead!
Such is life with two very different girls. One very cerebral and one very emotional. Life is never boring!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
