A Kid Moment

Went to the post office today. Had a moment at the door with a mom, carrying one kid and holding the hand of another who looked about three. Had one of those polite friendly, we're trying to be in the space "excuse me" moments.

Then the child took a liking to me as I went the other way, saying her new favorite word:

"Bye!"

I turned around and waved: "Bye!"

"Bye!"

So again I said "Bye."

Then she very sweetly and innocently said "Bye, stupid!"

I burst into hysterics. The poor mother wanted to gently admonish the little girl but when she saw me laughing she couldn't do anything but laugh, too....
