Macey’s

We were just at the store. Jeffy spotted the big, green coin-counting machine. Somebody was using it.

He was shocked.

“Did they fix it?” he asked, wide-eyed.

“Yeeaah, it usually works. . .” I droned wryly. “Just not when we use it.”

: )

On the way out to the parking lot. . .

“Hey, Jeffy, check out those ducks!” They were straight ahead, between us and the sunset, off in the distance. I pointed them out. “They’re flying south for the winter.”

Jefferson watched them move in formation for a moment.

“Do they always fly in a ‘V’?” he inquired placidly. . .

“Yes. They do.”

He grinned up at me, understanding.

“Maybe they’re all friends!”

: )

You can learn a lot from a duck. . . Maybe even more from a 6 year old boy.
