From the child's mouth part 2
I went shopping this evening. In front of me at the checkstand was a young woman with her little boy. She gave him two banknotes for him to pay with them. He looked at the banknotes and named the value correctly: 10 and 5. The mother praised him and asked how much 10 + 5 is. "Two", he said. I smiled an internal smile. Two banknotes. That's right. "Something like that", the mother said. The checker called out the total price and the mother told the boy to hand her the banknotes, which he did.

From the child's mouth
Dear reader,
the other day I was
sitting at the underground station waiting for the next one. A boy of
maybe five years or so sat next to me and a man accompanying him kept
standing a bit further from the bench.
Boy: “Stefan, I'm in
favour for not going out anymore today.“
Stefan: “Why?”
Boy: “Because it's
raining and if we go outside, we'll get wet.”
I agreed with the boy in
my head and stayed at my place for the rest of the day.
Until next blog,
sarah
