Things kids say

Art Linkletter used to have a show called, "Kids say the darndest things!" Here are 3 of those "things" spoken today by my grandson Moose:

We were heading into downtown Seattle for a meeting this morning when Moose (Maximus) suggested we take the city bus. I said, "Well, let me figure out how to do that." (Meaning that I needed to look up a schedule on the computer.) Moose's response was, "I know how. We walk to the bus stop. The bus comes and we get on."

When my meeting ended Moose said he was hungry and asked if we could go to "an eating store."

When we got to the bus stop for our return trip I stopped to wait a little ways away from the post with the bus schedule on it. Moose asked where the bus stop was and I said, "Right here." He said, "This isn't the bus stop. This is a tree!" (Yes, I had stopped next to a tree and he knew the difference.)

I love laughter. I love being able to take the time to enjoy the funny things in life. I love it that Tom made both of those things priorities in his life. I can hear him laughing, too.
