So, I was out in my parents yard today, starting up the charcoal to BBQ some chicken. All of the sudden a little blonde hair girl walks out of my parents backyard and starts asking me questions without introducing herself. I ask her where she came from, and she said she was visiting her grandfather, and points to my parents backyard. I assumed she was visiting my parents neighbors behind their house. Then I see my dad's friend in the backyard cutting up the trees that fell in a storm two years ago. He has been coming to get wood to heat his home. I go to say hello to him and discover that the little blonde girl is with him. He tells me her name is Sage.
So, I go back to preparing the coals and she begins asking me all kinds of questions and the first question is do I believe in fairy's. I say, "I did at one time and I know people who still do." She tells me that she believes in fairies. The conversation continues, and she asks me how old I am. She thinks I am a teenager. I then proceed to tell her that I am probably older than her mother. She said she didn't think so. I ask how old is your mother, and she tells me that she is 30. I said well I'm 36 years old, so I'm older than your mother.
Some how in the conversation it came out that I don't have children and don't want them right now. She said, "Why don't you want children. You should try to have kids you might like trying, and if you keep trying you might get a kid." I'm thinking in my head, "that is percisely what I am worried about, that I will like the trying part, and then I will end up with a kid. It wouldn't be prudent for someone one in my situation." She kept saying, "I think you should try, I think you would like trying. Haven't you ever tried something that you didn't think you would like and you liked it, like grabbing a spiderweb." I started to laugh.
