You want magic???

Something that always amazes me is the intelligence that the kids are born with now a days. This was until I discovered the joy of reading Calvin & Hobbes. My morning has to start with my cuppa of coffee and the all knowing and ever enthusiastic Calvin’s cartoon strip in the newspaper.

This guy’s just amazing. For a 6 year old kid, he has a damn good imaginative power consisting of Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, Captain Nitro, Transmogrifiers, dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus rex to be exact) etc, his misadventures, his unique views on a diverse range of political and cultural issues and his polls on his dad.

Despite his low grades, Calvin has a wide vocabulary range that rivals that of an adult as well as an emerging philosophical mind (Something that I need to pick up from this guy).

Kudos to Bill Watterson for coming up with this amazingly, sometimes overly creative, imaginative, energetic, curious, intelligent intellectual, know-it-all, naughty 6 year old kid and his anthropomorphic stuffed tiger.

I simply have to dedicate my first blog to my daily source of energy – Calvin and his incredible imaginative power. His thoughts and one liners is what gets me going in the morning!
