Unexplainable Utterances

.


This has made me giggle to myself all week:

We live near a Boy's Home that has a large swimming pool.  We have occasionally been invited by house parents to take our kids there to swim for special events.  The swimming pool is great- except that it has an extremely rough finish on the bottom.  It can be hard on tender toddler feet. 

We haven't been there in almost 5 months, yet this week out of the blue, my 4 year old loudly announced, loudly pleaded, "Mom, please don't take me back to the Boy's Home, it makes my toes bleed."

I mean, really, can a 4 year old possibly say anything else that would garner as much instant public pity and misunderstanding?
