What he said will melt your heart

Warner Residence, 2:30pm on a Saturday Afternoon 

Malcolm: Mommy, if you could be any animal what would you be? 

Me: A stingray. 

Malcolm: Why? 

Me: Because they swim so gently through the water. 

Malcolm: Guess what animal I’d like to be... 

Me: What? 

Malcolm: A stingray, so we could be friends. 

Then a pause. 

Malcolm: But the good thing is that we are already friends, right?
