The things children say

Kids do say the strangest things. For example, Miss Texas was recently ask to give her teacher an example of opposites. I rather suspect the teacher was expecting something like boy is the opposite of girl or mummy is the opposite of daddy. I am also rather certain that because teacher has been in the business a while she would not have been easily surprised by the answer. However, Miss Texas must have had something else in mind when she calmly exclaimed that "evaporation is the opposite of condensation".

Nothing extraordinary there then, I hear you cynically say. No, nothing extraordinary, really, except that Miss Texas is not yet 5. She is an amazing kid and we are all very quietly smug and proud.

I can't wait to hear her take on sheltering from Hurricane Ike, which is passing over Houston this weekend. Watch this space.....
