Odd moment while watching the news tonight. Part of the story was a girl of three or four going to pre-school, completely crushed when her dad dropped her off and drove away in his truck.
Mom: "Poor thing. She looks like he's leaving her alone forever instead of just for the day."
Me: "Well, y'know, when you're that age, you say bye to Dad and for all you know you're never gonna see him again."
::Very very long uncomfortable pause as we both realize that that's exactly what happened to me.::
Me (brightly): "So! This is good macaroni."
