Those little girls are just to sweet and smart for words.. love um... LOL Love & Prayers, PeggyFlorida,  IPF/UIP 2004"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."  Looked after my nieces and Grace last evening for a few hours.

Can you tell me about her?" Grace:" She's brown"  Short pause as Grace looks me over. Grace: "You're not brown Aunt Mare." Aunt Mare: "That's true." Grace: "Yeah, you're just plain." Another pause as she looks at me again somewhat seriously. Her face brightens then and... Grace: "But you do have oxygen."  shakes her head, sighs with the wisdom of her 6 years and says: "Oh Gracie." I'm sitting there at the picnic table trying not to howl with laughter.

MB,Yes, they can be adorable.  My great nephew , who will be 4 in September was with his grandparents at my sisters home this past weekend.  He decided he was hot and wanted to get in the pool.  So, his papa (my brother) took off his shirt and pants and told him he could get in in his underwear.  He wasn't sure it was ok, but Grams told him it was ok 'cause there was nobody there but family.  Shortly thereafter, he was trying to get everyone else in the pool with him.  He told them "Just take off your shirts; its ok its only family"!Life is so simple, isn't it?Roxanne, 59, South Carolina

Looked after my nieces and Grace last evening for a few hours. Lots of chatting on many topics. Here's a snippet to give you a flavor. Grace is 5. is 6.

 

Grace: "Aunt Mare we're going to have a new babysitter."

 

Aunt Mare: "I've heard about that. Can you tell me about her?"

 

Grace:" She's brown" 

 

Short pause as Grace looks me over.

 

Grace: "You're not brown Aunt Mare."

 

Aunt Mare: "That's true."

 

Grace: "Yeah, you're just plain."

 

Another pause as she looks at me again somewhat seriously. Her face brightens then and...

 

Grace: "But you do have oxygen."

 

shakes her head, sighs with the wisdom of her 6 years and says: "Oh Gracie."
