Little boy: are you an angel?

Me: what?

Little boy: my mom told me those who have marked wrists are angels.

Me: I'm not an angel.

Little boy: of course you are. My mom said that only Angels harm themselves because they don't like life on earth. This world is destroying them, so they try to return home again. They are too sensitive to the pain of others and their own.

Me: you know, your mom is very wise.

Little boy: thank you. She's also an angel but she has already returned home.
