I’m in a funny mood, not my usual cheerful self.

I was with my parents at our local library. There was a little boy, maybe three years old. He was quite cute, very inquistive, running around to investigate the behaviour of the automatic doors. I watched him for a bit and suddenly, I imagined pushing him really, really hard so that he would fall over and bounce on his head.

I know that’s really cruel. Don’t worry, I would never actually do it. It was just a bit of a thought experiment. Still, I think it would have been funny. If I could forget that he was a live, thinking, feeling creature, the simple physical response of a small unstable figure to being shoved by a bigger one would be visually amusing. Especially the bouncing part.
