Um, Okay!

In a bright little town called Sunnyvale, a young girl named Lila loved to ask questions. "Why do birds sing?" she asked her brother, Josh, as they played outside. "Maybe they sing because they’re happy!" replied Josh, laughing. Lila smiled, her big brown eyes sparkling with curiosity. But the big question was, why did everyone always say, 'Um, okay' whenever something silly happened? “Why do people always say that, Josh?"

One sunny afternoon, as the siblings sat on the swing, they noticed Mr. Green, the town's gardener. He was wearing mismatched socks and watering flowers. "Um, okay!" Lila giggled, pointing at him. Just then, Mr. Green turned and smiled, “Well, Lila, it’s okay to be different! Life is like a garden, and it’s more fun with some colorful surprises!" Lila and Josh laughed, understanding that saying 'Um, okay' was a way to embrace the funny things in life. They decided to find more silly moments to explore, making Sunnyvale an even brighter place!
