Philosophy of Preschoolers: because we all need a break from being grown-up

Fifty hilarious, bizarre, and thought-provoking conversations with preschoolers on topics such as "The Eternal Allure of the Bad Boy", "Anarchy", and "Does Celine Dion Fart?" Guaranteed to give you a break from this arduous business of being grown-up. As one reader writes: "I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading The Philosophy of Preschoolers, but what it turned out to be was a complete delight. Clem is a wildly imaginative five year old trying to make sense of the world, and Anna is her smart as a whip, practical three year old cousin. Mom chimes in occasionally, but basically it's a brilliant My Dinner with Andre, courtesy of Clem and Anna. I laughed aloud multiple times, once or twice wiping tears of laughter, too. Highly recommended!"

Here's a sample:

CRUSHES

Clem: “I still have a crush on Riley you know Anna.”
Anna: “Why are you telling me that Clem?”
Clem: “It’s important. I realized that maybe after the summer you didn’t realize that I still had a crush on Riley after all this time, but I do. Cousins need to tell each other important stuff.”
Anna: “You’re right. I’m having a princess party for my fifth birthday. I’m going to have a princess cake and princess crowns and-”
Clem: “Why are you telling me this Anna?”
Anna: “Because it’s important.”
Clem: “But not important like a crush.”
Anna: (mutinously) “It is. Princess parties are so important…anyway, what does it mean to have a crush?”
Clem: “It means I still love Riley.”
Anna: “Why is it called a crush then? Why don’t you just say that you love him?”
Clem: “Well…it’s called a crush because when you really love someone you want to…you know…crush them on the ground or against a fence.”
Anna: “That would hurt them.”
Clem: “You have to crush them otherwise they might escape. They need to be trapped.”
Anna: “Oh. That makes sense.”
Clem: “You don’t want the boy you love to escape, you see, but they always try to escape and run away. That’s what’s so hard about crushes.”
Anna: “I’m glad I don’t have a crush.”
Clem: “It’s not easy.”
