Isaac Non Sequiturs
Non sequitur is Latin for "it does not follow." In logic it means that there is a gap in reasoning, that one statement does not follow from the preceding statements. And as Isaac's Dad, sometimes I am left scratching my head by his non sequiturs. Here are a few recent ones:
"I want to be bald."
He said this and Bianca and I instantly looked at each other in bewilderment. After a day or two we figured it was because one of his favorite characters, Ang from the Avatar the Last Airbender (most underrated TV show in history, FYI) is bald. He is a pacifist, vegan monk and the hero of a kids show, because you know, that sells toys. So we thought it was his attempt to be Ang. And if you look closely you will see that Isaac and Ang look very much alike, but for the hair.
Isaac:
Aang:
Twins, right?
But alas, no. We still don't know where that came from.
He then told us that he wanted a gun. He, like is father, is apparently a big Second Amendment supporter. And he, like his father, will never get a gun. Sad. Finally, he told me one day on the way to school that he had hills, but he wanted mountains. I looked at him in disbelief and he told he was referring to his muscles.
He is well on his way.
