"We don't say butt!"

I was having a very difficult day. And out of nowhere, it got amazingly better. Ah the words of a child in the life of an adult. A simple thing really. Also amazing and priceless. It goes a little something like this:

Me (behind the returns register at work) to an adorable approximately two year old little girl: "Wow! You are a cute as a button!" (The way I say button kind of lingers on the first syllable more than the average person by the way.)

Little girl in astonishment: "We don't say butt!"

Me: nearly falls on floor laughing her butt off.

Ah the beauty of children. Can it get any better? I think not. Just when we need them most do they come through. How is it that they can do that and with such perfect timing? Methinks one could never fully explain it . There are no formulas for this logical mind - only matters of the heart.
