I love listening when I'm out and about. Life is infinitely fascinating if you pay attention.
This morning my husband surprised me with an impromptu apple fritter and coffee run. And no- we didn't get any for the children. Mwahhahah! The early birds get to gain all the weight.
As we sat eating our fritters at our favorite tiny local donut shop the owner was checking her child's backpack for their first day of school while issuing last minute advice.
"Pay attention to teachers, don't fly with friends, friends don't take you anywhere."
I don't know if this phrase is a translation of a common saying from the owner's native Chinese but as someone who teaches, it is gloriously spot-on descriptive.
I left the shop full of caffeine, sugar, and language. Flying.
