On Saturday, I dropped my pontoon boat into the water and sliced around the lake with a few people from the place next to me. Randy and Melissa brought along their four-year-old daughter, Emelia. As is my custom, I asked little "Em" if she would like to "drive" the boat. She loved the idea and took the wheel alongside her father in the captain's chair.
It's
funny. All children have the same question as soon as they get underway behind
the wheel. They don't ask what direction they should go or how fast they should
proceed, as an adult might. Instead, Em asked the important child thing all
children ask: "How do I honk the horn?"
