Anneka-ism

In the car today our 7-year old Anneka had a chat with her Daddy:

Anneka: Hey Daddy...
Jason: Yes Anneka?
Anneka: Is there such thing as a submarine?
Jason: Uh...yes...
Anneka: Darn.
Jason: Why?
Anneka: Well, I'm trying to think of an invention, and I thought that would be a good one. *sigh*
Jason: Keep trying Anneka...you'll come up with something GREAT!
Anneka: Thanks, Daddy....

An awesome response, Jason!

I remember riding in the backseat of the car and thinking of an idea - that Dad should name his sign business "AAA Signs" so that if someone were looking through the yellow pages his would be the first they would find. I excitedly told Dad of the idea. His response?

"That's a great idea, Ron".

I felt like a million bucks and remember it to this day. You never know what will stick, so encourage whenever you can.
