| Out of the Mouths of Babes.... An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted bu a localartist who was decorating them with tiger paws... "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella.... Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her fingers across the childs cheek, "Freckles are beautiful1!" The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles." ***************************************************** A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!" **************************************************************** I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!" *************************************************************** When my grandson, Billy, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights. ************************************************************** When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure. "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. " It says I am 4..... *************************************************************** My dear friends grandaughter ,Sonya (aged5) was watching her nanny put makeup on. Sonya asks her ... 'What are you putting that stuff on for nanny?' Grandmother replies.... "To make myself look beautiful"... Sonya replies .. "well it isn't doing much good!!" **************************************************************** (Sonya again )...started school the same day as my youngest son Scott. On arriving home ,, Scott was very pleased with his first day ,, He said.." It was Great"... Sonya standing near by .. said ... "Bloody liar! and dont think I am going to High School either." Sonya grew into a beautiful Woman and is now a teacher and teaching overseas, after going through High School and University.. **************************************************************** The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples. **************************************************************** |
