the wisdom of pre-schoolers

last night Char & I were playing in her "tent" in her bedroom (a sheet strung across the room canopy style) and she looks at me -hand on hip and says, "y'know mommy-sometimes people get mad at each other"
then in what i think of as her tough-guy voice she goes,"c'mere mommy"
and gives me a giant bear hug.
How do babies turn into little grown-ups seemingly overnight?
Also Char got one of those singing Halloween Cards with a cute, cartoon mummy on the front that sings "Walk Like an Egyption", she plays it over & over again & sings along to the words she can figure out, mostly the "way-oh, way-oh, waaaay-ooooohh", but you can see her trying to figure out the rest of the words.
*sigh*
my heart is full, until some jack-wipe comes along & sticks a pin in my balloon.
