In the locker room, I overheard a father and her very young (about three year old) daughter talking. Although I couldn't see either of them, the little girl's sweet, innocent, sing-song voice wafted through the air and caught my attention.




Girl:Daddy, what day is it tomorrow?
Dad:How does the song go?
Girl:(sung to a nursery-school tune)
Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday-Thursday-Friday,
Saturday, Sunday,
and then we start again.
Dad:Right.
Now, today is Wednesday, so
what day is tomorrow?
- big pause -
Girl:CHRISTMAS!
