Ruining

http://fairfaxparks.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/hidden-pond-duckweed-3.jpg

One bright, but cool evening, Asis, Jsis, another friend, her 6yo brother, and I were sitting on the dock situated in a small pond, being mesmerized by the almost-still duckweed on the glass-life surface.

No squawking fowl or buzzing insects interrupted the calm silence.

It was like a movie scene, the ambiance perfectly intoxicating and gorgeous.

Total peace reigned in the pond.

Out of the blue - 6yo brother in a sort of whiny tone: 

I'm bored.  I want to go home.

All us girls: 

[BOY'S NAME] YOU RUINED THE MOMENT!!

Boy all matter-of-fact-ly:  

I know.  I pooped the party.

And of course, we all joined in side-splitting laughter 

and probably scared a bunch of critters out of their hides and exoskeletons.

Little kids are so cute and funny.
