A Child's Good Nature

‘Unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.’ I found myself relating to this quote whilst devouring a lovely beef roast with some family today. They have three kids and I noticed how these younglings are bereft of many negative characteristics that are evident in adults. They do not appear greedy, too ambitious or self-centred. Instead they are humble, kind hearted, innocent, vulnerable and so on. My only point here is I worry I’m leaving these positives of youth. I feel really sinful nowadays. A devil in the company of angels. Merely something I have been deciphering over in recent days. In other, more cheerful news, Harry Potter was magical. Good to see Hermione looking as good as ever. She once watched me deliver some magic on the rugby field though I didn’t get to talk to her. Shame because I was going to say, my name may not be Luna but I sure know how to Lovegood. I wonder if chat up lines ever work. My feeble attempts have only ever surmounted to murmured laughs or the occasional ‘get away you freak’ scream. Maybe handing a girl a tissue and asking if it smells of chloroform is a step too far. I jest.
