    This morning I was walking in the park, as suddenly a few geese flew over, loudly honking. A little girl, about 6 year old, who was walking along her mother reacted by telling her mom: 'Ils parlent!' (they are talking/chatting).

    Instantly, I saw the truth in her words, and the innocent naivety where it sprouted from. And then I realized that the really, really genius things discovered/made by man must come out of the same source, from looking trough the walls of common sense (common sense: geese don't talk), and daring to state something different.

    My day is perfect right now.

    Anyone of you experienced something similar?

    Yes, they are chatting. Flying in close proximity to know where each other is without bumping into each other.:)

    Anyway, I understand that rare sense of satisfaction and can only hope it lasts for you :) Thank you for sharing.

    Actually, if you consider 'goose' to be a verb, then 'gooses' is a word - though obviously not the correct one in this instance.

    I must be wired strange. I saw the word 'goose' and immediately thought it was the verb.
    I am terribly disappointed. (-and again... wired wrong.)
