Kids - damn them

Location:
The train station 

What I heard:
Father: The train will be coming at 17:35. Can you see it? Its on that board over there.
Little boy (pointing at the board): 'Cos 17 is the most magicalest special number around. 
Father: Oh really? *Laughs*

Being in a rush to get home I did not get to hear the rest. Usually I do not pay attention to children, I have quite an aversion to them actually. But this struck and stayed with me. I wonder why 17 is such a magicalest number to the boy. He could have been no older than 5 or 6 years. 

On a different note I would like to thank Mylifescape for the following award:



I am humbled and honoured. Thank you Mylifescape.

I award all the blogs I follow with this little magicalest (my new word!) badge as well.

seh vehn teeeen it sounds magical.

fourteen and sixteen, nineteen--not as nice sounding.

twelve ...nope.


Once a visitor to our home just blurted out that 15 was his lucky number ... apropos of nothing.

Oh, magicalest will be my new word too! A dash of eavesdropping now and then is truly enlightening:)
