Kids' Quote from a Tennessee Grandmother

2004:
Last week a dangerous tornado went through Tennessee.  My good friend from high school and college, Reta, who lives there now, told me on the phone how she, her husband and their two grandchildren crowded into their hall closet after the warning.  While being squeezed into that small space, Reta said she explained to her six and three year old grandchildren how serious this was, but that God was with them.  After sitting there for some time, her three year old granddaughter looked up at her in anticipation and asked, "When is the tomato coming?"  At one time she asked when the pear was coming.  I wondered later, if she watches Veggie Tales, with Bob the Tomato!  Reta and I laughed and laughed over that one!  Can't you just see a huge tomato rolling down the road?
