He's seven years old. One of the most amazing children I've ever known. I ask him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "I think I want to be in the army," he replied. I don't like the idea of my baby going to war so I say, "You don't want to do that, you could die in the army." He then looked at me more seriously than I have ever seen him look. "I could die in a car crash, or drown in water or someone could even kill me. Everybody dies so why not die fighting for something?" I looked at him dumb founded. I didnt know what to say, I couldnt believe those words came out of this little boy. So, with a tear in my eye I say, "yeah...I guess your right."

Chills.
What a clever lad.
Hey... do me a favor, and do some work on your paragraph structure. You need a new paragraph every time a different person speaks.Just helps the flow of your writing. -
