It’s amazing what a person hears,
just pausing on a private patio.
I stepped away for a few moments,
grabbing a quick sandwich and settling into a shady spot outdoors to enjoy a
quiet summer break.
Just then, a couple of boys rode by
at full tilt on their bicycles. Glancing through the hedgerow, I guessed they
must have been six or seven years old.
“Race ya!” the first one shouted.
“Ha!” the other answered.
“I win!”
“No-o-o!”
“You’re a fat rat!”
“Well, be sure to check us out at
Fat Rat Dot Com.”
I almost fell out of my chair. And
I’m pretty sure the real winner of that exchange wasn’t the faster biker.
