There’s a nice park two blocks from my house, complete with an artificial lake, benches, playgrounds, a workout circuit and a Frisbee golf course. I take walks there for pleasure and, occasionally, so I don’t feel like a total slug.
At sunset last night, two young families were wrapping up some sort of wholesome picnic by the playground. A toddler-aged girl sang out, “Goodbye!”
The toddler from the other family chirped back, “Goodbye!”
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
A fun game. They laughed in between their goodbyes as the parents packed up the blankets and Tupperware.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Only little children could think it’s fun to say goodbye.
