Overheard

At church on Sunday, Sophie was very giggly while she and I were sitting next to Abby, the 5 year old daughter of some friends.

Abby: I know why Sophie's laughing so much.
Me: Why?
Abby: Because you're wearing a PINK TIE.

Abby's tone of voice can best be described as vicarious shame mixed with a strong hint of "duh."

I was totally unaware that I had crossed such a serious boundary.
