Why shouldn't a seven-year-old have a blog? A father poses questions and a son answers directly, honestly, and candidly with the directness, honesty, and candor that only a seven-year-old can bring. Dictated and moderated by AmsterdamAsp , these are the words of Elliot himself: simple and complex observations of the world from the mind of a six-year-old...

Oh really?

[For whatever reason, Elliot has not been much in the mood for blogging over the last couple of months. Whenever asked if he'd like to post something, he generally responds with "Hmm... Not right now." Still, he seems to enjoy checking for comments on his blog. And even though we inform him that he's not likely to get new comments without new posts, he hasn't completely grasped the correlation. So in the spirit of some of Elliot's older blogs, this post is pulled from a casual conversation earlier today... Who knows? Maybe it will help to jump-start the process again.]

"You're going to get real tall soon, Daddy."

["Oh yeah? Because it's going to be my birthday soon?"]

"Yeah. You're going to be a real man when you get taller. Because you keep getting taller and taller and taller and taller and taller... 'Cause it's your birthday."

How tall does a person get? If you keep growing taller every year, how tall can you get?

Elliot, I think it's great that you have your own blog. Tobias likes to check your blog to see if you posted something new and is really exited when you do.
