11yo floppinho has gotten into the habit lately of asking me questions about some event we're both witnessing at the same time and place where there's no possible way of knowing the answer.
Two nights ago walking home together we see an ambulance in front of the building next door...
-dad, what happened?! Who got hurt?
- it's bob. He fell down.
- Whos Bob?
- yeah. Who indeed. Why do you think i know what happened? We're coming up on the scene at the same exact moment and have same info.
Last night we're walking home from the subway and we see a bunch of emergency vehicles in front of the playground across the street from our apt. (It's NYC, this is pretty common)
-dad...what happened?!
-its Bob.
-what happened to him?
-

that happened)
