the innocence of children...

ok so im really hungry right now, which got me thinking of saturday. when i went to dinner at this amazing little japanese restaurant called Taihei for my grandmother's birthday. hay grandma the big 74 (which u dont look btw, you look 50). ya i know im a grandma's boy, so what. anyways it was really good, some of the best sashimi and soft shell crab that i have had in a long time. mmmm soo good.

and then thinking about saturday reminded me of this really cute thing my cousin said. she came running up to me when i walked in the house and said, "guess what, guess what, douglas. rosa linda's house burnt down and she is going to come and stay with us until her house gets better" and naturally im like oh thats very nice of you, but who is roas linda? is she your friend? but no answer just another "oh rosa linda is going to sleep downstairs where mommy got me a cup of milk". oh ok ashley thats nice. now who is rosa linda? but yet again i get "oh rosa linda's whole family is going to be staying with us too". well at this point i know im not going to get anything out of her so i just assume rosa linda is one of my aunts friends and give up. but later i learn that "rosa linda" is really "yorba linda" as in the area where the fires are. i just thought it was so cute how she heard how yorba linda was burning down and thought it was a person and said they could come and stay with them until it was over. oh the innocence of children. oh how i wish she can stay that young and innocent forever and never have to learn the horrible truth of life.
