Very wise, I think...

Well, everyone needs a Dallin-ism once in a while:

On a recent evening, Dallin was describing his interest in taking up bobsledding (?!?), which led us to a short discussion about that old movie, “Cool Runnings”, which led us to a talk of Winter Olympics. Dallin became excited about maybe winning a bobsledding event someday and started planning his strategies. As our conversation turned to recalling a sledder who died at an Olympic practice, Dallin's eyes widened and his self-preservation instinct kicked in. In a suddenly serious tone, he said, “Actually, I think I would tell my team to go really slowly. I wouldn't mind losing so we don't die.”


(I just made a label for the kid whose talent is unintentionally making people laugh. Dallin.)
