I was food shopping with Sarah. I push her and pull the cart behind me. We were strolling through the book section. Approaching us from up ahead was a little girl of about 5 years old and her dad. As they walked by us I heard her say "Dad, is that a real kid?" Her dad replied, quietly, "Yes".
And I burst out laughing.
He knew that I had heard her and he was a bit embarrassed, I think, but became even more flustered when he heard me chortling behind him. He turned to look at me and I said to him, "Out of the mouths of children!" and chuckled some more.
He relaxed and had a little laugh as well. And we moved on.
And so I say, Aren't kids the greatest? So curious and honest.
Many adults could learn a few things from their simplicity.
They just want to KNOW.
There's nothing wrong with that in my book.
Oh and here's a picture of a flowering tree in my neighborhood, just because... Isn't it beautiful?
