life is funny

so, today i was nannying... and caroline (the mother) told me a story of something that happened 10 minutes after i left yesterday.
they have this dog, who is very old and will likely die soon. it's sad. and they're very sad about it. so, caroline was talking to her sister on the phone after i left yesterday, and was crying about the situation with their dog.
then wyatt (2.5 years old) comes up to her and strokes her on the back, and tries to comfort her by saying, "it's ok mom, kristen's coming back..." (thinking she was crying about me leaving!)

oh, children are amazing. that story definitely made me feel good about myself. oh dear, so cute.
