The Fishers in La Paz, Bolivia

Since Avery turned four, she’s been asking many more why and how questions and seems to be thinking all the time, trying to figure out how “things” work. Some of her funniest comments so far came this morning before preschool. She asked me how God could hold the whole world in His hands. I guess it’s not safe to sing children’s songs anymore, they will all be analyzed carefully!

We also had this interchange:

Avery: (with gusto) I’m a lion tamer! Mom, what’s a lion tamer?

Me: It’s someone who teaches tricks to lions. Like at a circus. So, do you do that?

Avery: (with complete sincerity) No, do you?

I guess she hadn’t realized that there is a dearth of lions around La Paz for either of us to tame. . .
