A conversation on a street corner last week. A group of kids were walking in single file trying to step on each other's shadow.
Me to the first boy in line: "You'd better be careful stepping like that because that shadow might just come loose and then it would go off on it's own and wander around."
The boy: "No, that will never happen because it is a part of him."
Me: "Well, if it's a part of him, then why is it down there?" [points to the shadow on the sidewalk]
The boy: "Yeah, well, okay, so it's not really a part of him. What it is is that he stands between the sun and..."
Me: I didn't hear the rest because I had my fingers in my ears and was saying loudly, "La-la-la-la-la-la-la..."
Or something like that.
