"I had a dream..."


Yesterday was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Day. In Kyan's class, they learned a bit more about him and his dream for the world. Afterward, the kids got to share their own dream. Here are a few of the answers.

“My dream is to help pick up all the trash.”. “I have a dream that all the animals will be safe.”. “I have a dream to give love to the world.”. “I dream that everyone gets to sleep on a bed.”. “My dream is for people to keep the oceans clean by cleaning it.”. “I have a dream not to waste food.”. And for Kyan, it was:“My dream is for goats to be my favorite animals. I just like goats.”.

I'm a bit baffled, albeit no less proud, by his answer. I'm torn between three explanations: 1. Kyan didn't really understand the question... 2. We must have missed a chapter on "How to raise perfect little citizens"... 3. It's the answer of a 4 year old with the concerns of a ... 4 year old...
