Out of the Mouths of Babes

While sitting on my front porch I saw a lady walking down the sidewalk closely followed by three girls. The first girl was a teenager, the second perhaps a fourth grader, and lagging behind was a child no older than three. All four were staring at cell phones in their hands, perhaps reading texts. Well, not all were actually cell phones. The child was carrying a toy with a screen pretending it was a phone.

It was amusing enough to witness four people walking in line operating cell phones. It looked like a mama duck leading her young. But, it was what the child said that made me laugh out loud.

 

"Ma, I jus' tex-id you. Did ya git it?"

 

Mother, busy typing on her phone, replied, "Yeah, I got it."

 

Child asked, "Well..., what it say?"
