| I just love their simplicity...What I want to know is how adults lose this grip on reality?...
As an example...we are watching TV and the "No win No fee" advert comes on.They explain that the woman fell off her chair at work and claimed xxxthousands in compensation.
My lad..." Mummy...why did the work have to pay the lady all that money?"
Me... "coz babe, she fell off her chair at work and had to have time off
to get better"
My lad:"So...if I fall off my chair at school...I can ask school to pay me
money?"
Me: "No poppet, because that's an accident..."
My lad: " But....Mummy??? Wasn't that an accident???"
Me:" yeah...it is but......."
My lad: " Shall I look the word up in the dictionary mummy?...Here it is it says " happens by chance, or No-one is to blame"
Simple...but true |
