What feeds your soul?

A couple days ago Isaac came home from school, bringing with him a small whiteboard/bulletin board that he had won playing bingo in his math class. He generously let me play around on it, drawing, writing, and erasing things, then I wrote, "What feeds your soul?" He took it away from me and wrote, "Micky D's" (meaning McDonalds), so I grabbed my purse and said, "Let's go." After he consumed his two $1.00 cheeseburgers and large order of fries (pretty inexpensive soul food in my opinion), I helped him hang his whiteboard in the family room. As the finishing touch, I erased everything off the board and wrote, once again, "What feeds your soul?" I then went on to my next task. Awhile later I glanced at the board and saw that Isaac had written:

Isaac
My dogs (later adding, My family on both sides and Mac and cheese)

Delighted that he understood my question, I added mine, below his:

Denise
My family and good music

As Clark and Davis came home and saw the board, they added their responses:

Clark
Words

Davis
Stories of the impossible

Man, I love those boys!
