The wisdom of children

 Yesterday my family had an eleven year old over for lunch. She's in Singapore trying to learn English (and doing pretty well at it), and the lunch conversation was an opportunity to practice. Over the course of the meal we explained what 'walnut', 'otter' and 'chickpea' were (the latter probably being her most hated food) and she told us about her family and school. At one point, Hannah suggested that she try asking me and Jacob some questions and she turned to me, a glint in her eye and asked, "Do you like your husband?"



(The answer is still, happily, yes.)
