:eek: cruel you are making mrsnerf feel bad you deserve nothing0 -
A few days ago I was talking with some friends about the stage in little children's lives when they are asking questions all the time - "Why…? Why…..? Why….?". One friend mentioned that she had been on a bus, with a mum and child at the 'Why?' stage, and the mum was just telling the child to be quiet - my friend (who has children of her own) pointing out, how else will the child learn?
Anyway, earlier on today I was in my local mini-mart, when a mum came in with her little boy. She was only young (maybe late teens), and he was at the 'Why? stage, such a cutie too. I could hear them as they went round the shop.
"What are those, mummy?"
"Those are baked beans, sweetie."
"Why?"
"Well, people buy them to eat."
[ a few seconds later]
"What's that, mummy?"
"That's toilet roll."
"Why?"
"So that people can wipe their bottoms after a poo."
- and so on and so on, all the way round the shop. She was very patient with him, explaining everything to him.
I was stood behind them at the till. She had him in the crook of her arm, and he was pointing at the sweets one by one.
"What's that, mummy?"
"That's strawberry bubble-gum, darling."
"What's that, mummy?"
"That's spearmint chewing gum."
"What's those, mummy?"
"Those are mints."
And so on, all they way through the different sweets, while they were waiting to pay. Then there was a pause.
"Mummmyyyy..." [with the upward inflection at the end, like he was asking another question]
"What it is, sweetie?"
Short pause, then the little lad reached out and put his tiny hands on her cheeks and said:
"I love you."'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'
