Little conversations
Nigel asked me yesterday, when I was out with Shannon and him for lunch at Vivocity:
"Who do you like most Daddy?"
This was obviously a sibling rivalry thing as the two of them spent almost the whole afternoon racing each other round the mall, challenging each other to jump higher and testing each other with trivia from Ben 10 Alien Force.
So, I had to choose my words carefully, or pretend I didn't hear the question, which wasn't too difficult given my blocked left ear. But I decided to answer and I said:
"I don't like anybody."
Gasps. "Why?"
"Because I like everybody!"
Nigel stops to think for 3 seconds, continuing to hold my left hand while walking down the tunnel linking harbourfront to Vivocity. Then he says "Stop talking nonsense Daddy!" obviously not getting the point I was trying to make.
It didn't actually make sense to me too and I had to thank him for pointing it out to me.
