What’s the third sentence you’ve heard that changed everything?

Not the first or last—just the one in between, the quiet pivot. I keep thinking about it after a conversation with my nephew yesterday. He said, 'I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up,' and then paused, looked at the hop vines, and said, 'But I do know I don’t want to be like anyone else.' That was the third sentence. It landed like frost on a stem.
