Anjulee smiled as she watched her grandchildren running around the yard.
"You're it!" cried Josie tagging her little brother.
"No far!" cried Luc. "You're bigger than me!"
Renée laughed. "Maybe we've had enough?" she asked with a smile.
Robert nodded enthusiastically. "I think so," he said collapsing on the grass
near her grandmother.
"I know!" exclaimed Jeanette. "Grandmére, can you tell us a story?"
"*S'il vous plait!" chimed in Renée.
Anjulee smiled, "That I can do *mes enfants. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jeanette smiled, "Can you tell us how you met Poppa?" she asked. "I love
romantic stories."
"It's not all romance ma cherie," said Anjulee, "but I would be happy to tell
you the story. It was a dark and stormy night..."
"Grandmama!" interrupted Luc. "Tell it like it really happened."
"It really was a dark and stormy night," she said smiling. "My best friends
and I were walking back to our hotel. We had just seen the Backstreet Boys in
concert..."
"Grandmére," Renée broke in. "Who were the Backstreet Boys?"
"Are you going to let me tell my story?"
"*Je m'excuse!"
"My best friends and I were walking back to the hotel..."

"That was fantastique!" exclaimed Marie. "I have never seen such a wonderful
concert!"
"How many concerts have you ever been to?" asked Kellie laughing.
"I saw Roch Voisin!"

"He doesn't count," said Anji. "He's not nearly as cute!"
"I agree!" said Kellie. "No one can compare to Brian!"
"Or AJ," Marie said dreamily.
"I think Nick. . ." Anji stopped abruptly as she noticed a car coming speeding
towards them. "Run!" she screamed.
The girls tried to dive to the sidewalk. Marie hit the ground and rolled into
a snow bank, Kellie jumped into the snow bank. But
Anji slipped on a piece of ice and found herself right in the path of the on
coming car.
*1: Please!
