The most important cargo in the world.

Yesterday, Fintan, five, came to me with a newspaper. His right forefinger jabbed at a photo that had caught his attention.

"Why are these men standing on boxes?"

"They are cargo boxes."

"There is a car inside?" He said, his eyes opening wide at this revelation.

"No. They are used to take things into the country. There can be anything inside: food, or clothes..."

"Or toys?", he added, hopefully, contemplating these pictured boxes with new found respect.

"Yes, or toys."

He was content at last. They were boxes of toys, carrying the most important cargo in the world.

I found myself smiling at his words. His world view is so appealing, in its priorities. It is relaxing, in a way, just to listen to his thoughts unfold. They follow a path called "childhood" and speak of things from a perspective I have long forgotten. To speak to him, is to take myself back to a time when toys were the most important thing in all the world.
