Every now-and-then, random children come up to me and hold entire conversations with me as though they were grown adults!

There's this miniature little butterfly with brown hair, brown eyes, who stands about 106 cm., about 4 or 5 y/o, puppy brown eyes like mine, just chatting away to me like we were best friends. She could be my daughter if no one knew she wasn't mine.

The little girl's mother and her female companion have no idea she's even sitting with me! That's scary! The child and I had been chatting for 20 min. She found a dime and was trying to give it to me. I was thinking, "Where is your mother?"

Thankfully, I'm a mother and my protective instincts kicked in. I ask the little girl why she's not sitting with her mother. She shrugged her shoulders and gave me the cutest and confused smile.

I held my hand out to her so we can walk over to her mother. The mother didn't seem concerned and just tells her baby to "go sit over there".

That lady has no idea how lucky she is.

I wished I could do it all again sometimes.
