The Littlest Existentialist

I was sitting at the counter in Whole Foods for lunch when two little girls (sisters, 4 an 5) sat down at the counter to my right. This is the conversation they had.

4-year old: (Sneaks a quick glance at me and then turns to her sister.) We're not supposed to sit with strangers.

5-year old: I'm sitting next to you and you're not a stranger.

4-year old: But momma said...

5-year old: (Shrugs) Aren't we all strangers to somebody?
