kids say the darndest thing

I reached the clinic on time, the nurse asked me to wait my turn to see my acupressure therapist and find a seat first. I saw one that was empty beside a lady playing with her son, probably of kindie age. Just as I settled in, ready to take out my book to read, I heard the boy complain "hey that's my seat!". Surprised I looked up to him, "Oh, is this seat yours? I'm sorry!" His mum said to me, amused and embarassed, "no no... It's alright!" The boy replied," No I was talking about YOU!" to his mummy, she turned to her child and chided lovingly and rubbed her nose against his "you are such a naughty boy!..." And they both chuckled. Awww...

I smiled and returned to my reading, relieved. The doctor's room door opened and a male patient walked past us after his name was called. As the door closed behind him, I heard the childish voice again, this time, he sounded very serious. "Mummy, that man looks like a bad guy!!" I let out a voiceless giggle and heard Mummy coo "you've watched too many cartoons, silly boy!"

Ya boy, if only life was as simple as in cartoons... where bad guys are always bad, and good guys are always good.

Have a beautiful week everyone! (^_^)
