Overhead while waiting for Rose Red to arrive at the Museum of Natural History (determined not to be late for a third time, she guaranteed that no other outcome was possible).
Little boy: “The buses take a little long time.”
Mother: “Little long?”
Little boy: “Yes…they take a long time to get here. Not a while though, just a little.”
His logic, I have to say, is impeccable.
There are three things that always always happen with us: I’m late, we laugh all day and you buy french fries and share with me. If one of those constants would change I think the world would implode.
My son uses the same logic. He will watch me play video games, and Im like.. it is too scary. His response:
“Its not scary. Well, its a little scary, but not a lot because I am king.”
I raised him good :)
