Snowflakes and Grandpas


"Grandpa, what up with this thing about no two snowflakes are alike?"
"Yeah, it's true... each snowflake is unique. Kind of like how loogies
and fingerprints are all unique. From far away, each snowflake looks
like any other snowflake...but if you look really really really close,
you can see that one snowflake might have fewer points or fewer
molecules or something. Sorry if my scientific jargon is too deep for
your little brain. Anyway, looking at snowflakes can be like looking
at another person's qualities. From far away, somebody might seem
pretty typical, but if you get to know him and look closely at what he
does and stuff, you'll be able to see each person is a little different
from another. Take your Grandpa for example. From a distance, I
seem like any other Ilocano Visayan Tata Lolo. But if you look
really really really close, you'll see that I'm humbler than most."
"Grandpa, you're the smartest Grandpa in the world."
"Yes, once again little girl, you speak the truth."
