When I got to my aisle seat on the plane, two young boys were already buckled into the seats next to me. I smiled and thought, “OK, I’ll just read my newspaper.” But as I settled in, I heard a little voice say, “Hi.” Well, how could I resist? 8 and 6 years old, they were so excited about flying to visit their Aunt Sue in Las Vegas they could hardly contain themselves! We chatted about everything. I learned the hotel they were going to had 5 swimming pools and they intended to splash in each one. They educated me about dinosaur movies, books on tape, video games and Brittany Spears. They couldn’t remember the name of the last movie they saw but the 8 year old said it was about a young athlete who helped an old lady by donating his kidney stone. Cute, huh? When the conversation flagged, I picked up my newspaper, which prompted the 6 year old to toss out a great conversation starter. He said, “I’ve been told meat has protein.” Well, of course, that gave us new things to talk about.

As we prepared to land, I congratulated their parents on a terrific job raising two fine young men and how refreshing it was to get out of my world for a couple of hours and enjoy the children’s.

It energized me for the rest of the day. And you know what? I recommend to you — it’s smart to re-energize yourself by enjoying life’s precious moments, such as real conversation with children.
