bean's candid observations

took the bean swimming yesterday. while i was helping the bean to dress in the changing room, the bean, as usual, was being a busybody looking at other people. in particular, she noticed a woman in a corner and asked, "what that woman doing mum?"

sotto voce, i said, "what do you think? and don't point."

bean replied, "she's changing," and added, "she has a big round bottom."

that just gave me a tiny pause, but i said, "so do you."
