Good point, well made.

Overheard in London this morning whilst walking along Exhibition Road from South Ken to Imperial:

Harassed Mum: "Darling, we can't stop for ice cream. Ice cream isn't important right now."
Gap-toothed Little Girl: "Mummy, if ice cream isn't important then everything isn't important."

You speak the truth little girl.

[nanila]

Indeed. A truth that need honouring this evening via the consumption of Häagen-Dazs, I think.

[ironed_orchid]

I like her.

[nanila]

Me too. She can have ice cream at my house any time.

[boundbooks]

Pure, unadulterated truth.

[nanila]

Absolutely. (Noodles are also important. Mmm, noodles. *munches*)

[lurkingcat]

That is a very wise gap-toothed little girl.

[nanila]

Let us hope she never loses sight of this truth.

[weaverbird]

Out of the mouths of babes.

When I turned around a few steps later, they were stopped at the ice cream van.

[meloukhia]

That kid has her priorities straight.

[nanila]

Indeed. I now wish to realign mine so that they are correctly oriented. Towards dessert.

[nanila]

Me too. Especially mint chocolate chip and coffee flavours.

So brilliant. The saddest thing I've had to do the past few days is turn down an invitation to share a tub of Ben & Jerry's because of a cold. :(

[nanila]

Small people are the cleverest. It's such a shame we have to grow up and become big and stupid.

Another great reason for me not to have children: someone somewhere has clearly given birth to my daughter for me.

[nanila]

...I have just realized that the little girl had brown hair cut like yours. O.O

[alwayswondered]

Ahahaha! I know a kindred spirit when I read about one, obviously!

Reading this today reminds me that there is still ice cream in the freezer. Hurrah!
