Friendly Conversation

A while back, I was walking Ransom and passed by a lady from the neighborhood. We chatted and then she asked, So how many kids do you have?

This question was interesting to me since another neighbor had posed this question, mentioning that she had see kids in our yard. I know for a fact that no children have been in our yard.

We don't have children yet, I replied.

She said, Really? I talked to your little girl one day when she was walking your dog. He looked really big compared to her.

That was me, I said.

Sigh.
