A snippet of conversation I overheard while on the escalator the other day. This mother had her young daughter and son beside her. I put the kids at about 4-5 years of age.
The little girl is chattering away like a motor mouth, and then the mum says to her, “If you have nothing to talk, you don’t have to talk.”
Upon reaching the top of the escalator and getting off it, the little girl chirps, “Thank you escalator!!!!”
It cracked me up. 🙂
