Overheard: Ssssshhhh [one for the mothers].

Hi you.

As it's Mother's Day [here in the UK] I thought a parenting themed overheard might just be the thing to share today.

And it's a recent one too [proving that, just because I don't share many overheards on here ... it doesn't mean I've stopped listening ...]

When: Saturday 16th February 2013
Where: WH Smiths [book shop]

Who: A mother with 3 small children [all under 7-ish] spent a good while browsing through the children's books. Then, when they'd made their selections they walked through through the shop, past me, towards the till, which is when I heard the oldest child asking her mmother ....

Child 1: Is this a library?

Mother: No.

 ... and then, and you could almost hear her brain working, she uttered this piece of perfectly expressed children's logic:

Child 1: So ... can we be noisy then?

I think she might grow up to be a lawyer.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I'm the giggly one on the right.

And to my own mother, who's probably had to deal with me being noisy in a library at some point ... Happy Mother's Day!
