Since our trip to DisneyWorld a few months ago, Benjamin has been interested in roller coasters. A recent exchange, in which he fills in the blank, echoing something I had previously told him, went like this:

Benjamin: Look at this roller-coaster, Daddy.

Daddy: It goes up and down. It goes fast and slow. It’s got parts that are fun and parts that are scary.

Benjamin: Yep, just like life.

That’s my boy!
