the kooky things kid's say

The last few days are a blur of work but there were a few "favourite things" that stood out nevertheless. Here's something Andre sent that made me smile and happily took me out of my work world for a few minutes.

"So, here's the scene. I'm going to pick up Karuna at the skating rink with Ben and Sarah in the back. Somehow we get talking about yesterday's incident wherein Sarah is left behind at home - and both mom and dad didn't notice that she wasn't in the car. They kind of get that Dad would be clueless... but Mom?

Ben: So, do you like your mom more than your dad [Sarah had in previous conversations confessed as much].

Sarah: Yeah, I guess so.

Ben: Yeah, Dads are kind of random aren't they?

Andre: What do you mean RANDOM?

Ben: Well, your mom is kind of necessary, but dads... well, your mom just went and picked up some random guy and he becamse your dad.

Sarah: Yeah, you can be born without a dad but you can't be born without a mom."
