So I was waltzing around Tar-zhay this afternoon, passing the back-to-school section (already!), when I overheard a little girl's voice:
"Look, Mommy, it says 2012. A lot of people say the world is going to end in 2012."
"Yes, honey, but that's silly talk. It's just another year."
And in her sweet little Jersey-girl accent, I hear: "Ah, I know, Ma. They're awla' buncha' LIARS!"
I couldn't help myself. I just had to turn the corner and get a look at this wise child.
Eight, maybe 9 years old. I gave her the biggest smile I could muster and a nodding wink. So important to acknowledge little ones who can cut through adults' doomsday B.S.
Buncha' liars! She made my day.

That is funny and cute! I also like the way mom interacted with her. If I had said that about some of the silly talk and the buncha lies I was being fed, I'd have got slapped in the face.
