Her: No, home sick means I am sick of home..i want to go out.. 😕

Me: Nah, homesick means you are not home and want to go home. 

She: No, that cannot be.. So.. does seasick mean.. you not at sea but you want to go to sea?

My 9 YO : Mummy, can you sing the song that you always sing?

Me: Which one, darling? 

She: Something like *humming*

Me : 🤔🤔 Say some words from it

She: Something like.. ".. it's better if you don't talk at all.."

Me: What!!? Wait.. There is no song like this.. Are you sure this is a song... Aaaahhh.. Got it.. Is it "when you say nothing at all?"

She: Yep, that one 😁

Me:🙄🙄🙄 You *almost* ruined that song for me 😂😂

The Mirage

Have you ever chased a mirage?

The closer you get, the farther it moves away. 

And it's too late before you realize it's all just an illusion. 

All you are left with is desperation and hopelessness.
