Brilliant relationships education

The other day I was just walking home from the bus. A few feet in front of me two women were holding hands, and between the two women and I, a man was walking with two children aged probably about 4 and 6. The older one asked, ‘daddy why are they holding hands?’ and he simply said, ‘probably because they love each other and so it is nice to hold hands’. And then they carried on talking about what they had done at their friend’s house. Brilliant, brilliant relationships education. I am not a fan of listening in to other people’s conversations but I am glad I couldn’t help but overhear this one – it set my day off to a flying start.
