You should read Is "There Really a Human RACE? by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell". It's a nice spin on the words "Human Race". A little boy doesn't understand the meaning and takes the word "Race" as a literal race of some sort. He is asking questions about it and wondering if he has to try and win.
Is there really a human race?
Is it going on now all over the place?
When did it start?
Who said, "Ready, Set, Go"?
Did it start on my birthday?
I really must know.
Is it a spring? A dash to the end?
Am I aware of the time that I spend?
And why do I do it, this zillion-yard dash?
If we don't help each other, we're all going to...
CRASH!
The mom sits him down and tells him that it's nice to slow down sometimes and that it's about helping others and making our world a better place for the whole human race.
