Fabulous. So many things I could say about this, but what stays with me is your initial reaction to the idea that learning the four questions was one of your "jobs" and what you thought about jobs generally. Says so much about what we convey to our children and how important it is to make sure we make them feel good about doing their jobs.
The other part I like is how you recite the four questions without drawing a breath. And how your recital elicited clapping afterwards.
This is breathtaking, Jen. You have such a gift for vividly portraying a child’s-eye view of how impossibly difficult and profound questions pop up unexpectedly in the everyday. Just lovely.
