Motorcycle man

Alder and I were driving down Shawnigan Lake Rd when out of the blue Alder looked up to me and said,

"I want to be a motorcycle man."

I laughed and said, "A motorcycle man?"

"One day." He said in a tone that is only used when you realize what you said sounds unrealistic.

A bridge crossing

On Saturday me and Alder were out walking at The Old Mill park. It's filled with Alder trees which, it turns out, is my favorite smell! We came across a small walking bridge which crossed a swamp. Before crossing, Alder stopped and stared down at the bridge, eyes thoughtful, then looked up to me and said,

"I wonder who made this bridge?".

I was struck by the thoughtfulness of the question before I could respond.

"Probably a man." He said while nodding and stepping on to the bridge.

I suggested that it was probably a few people, men and women to which he nodded and said,

"Yes, probably some men and women."
