"Miss you"

This morning Gannon and I dropped Channing off at school and she went to his side of the car to say goodbye, like she always does. Then she told him that she'd miss him, like she always does. About two minutes later Gannon asked:

"Why is Channing sad?"

"What do you mean? Channing isn't sad."

"But 'miss you' is sad."

"You're right, Gannon. 'Miss you' is sad."

Then I grabbed a notebook and wrote that conversation down. What a smart boy. Missing people IS very sad. :(
