avery: mom, does my hair look cool?
mom: your hair doesn't make you cool.
avery: is it your clothes that make you cool?
mom: no it isn't your clothes.
avery: i know, i know it is your moooves that make you cool?
mom: no it isn't your moves. at this point he is totally confused as to what makes you cool.
avery: then what is it that makes you cool?
mom: it is what's in your heart and how you treat other people that makes you cool.
avery: a lot of people don't know that, do they mom?
mom: no avery, a lot of people don't know that.

it is pretty sad that my 5 year old is already worried about what makes him cool and trying to fit in. i am trying my dangdest to teach him that it's whats in the inside that counts.
