eavesdropping

A little girl, probably about four was in front of the desk talking while her parents mainly ignored what she was saying. Her logic was so beautifully four. She had just dropped a book and immediately responded with "well I am weak and sick. Weak and sick mommy. So you can't blame me mommy. You can't blame me that I dropped the book because I am weak and sick. There are too many books in a library. You can't blame me mommy." It was funny because she was not sick or weak, and she said everything with such nonchalance. I was glad they stopped in front of the desk.
