Sebastian and I were walking to the park today when we saw two boys (brothers?) sitting on their stoop opening presents. Of course, our 5 year old wondered why.
Seb: Maybe it's their birthday.
Mum: mmmm. Maybe their mum just left on a trip [i.e. she bribes her kids like I do]
Seb: Maybe.
Mum: They might get an end of summer present or one to start school. [Quickly realising the implications of what I just said]. But I don't know anyone who does that.
Mum in quick recovery mode: Could be a special day in their religion.
Seb, hedging his options: Jesus is 154 years old today. Nana told me.
Mum: Ummm, so what's Christmas about?
Seb: silence which is unusual for this fella.
Life is good
