Overheard

On our way to Walmart last night we were at a stop light and Kate looked over and noticed the woman in the car next to us.  

"That woman is smoking!  Why is that woman smoking?"

Daniel as dryly and matter of factly as one can be, said:

"Because she wants to die."

Oh yes- he did.  My husband is a fan of telling his child this sort of thing.  Then with an air of understanding and a shrug of her shoulders she said,

"Oh."

Just Oh.  Nothing else.  Oh for it to be that easy when she gets to be a teenager.
