When my one niece was about three years old and living two thousand miles from both sets of grandparents, she heard her mother mentioning "Grandma." Wondering which grandma her mother was referring to, my niece asked, "The 'Bless Your Little Heart' Grandma or the 'Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm' Grandma?" As it turned out, one grandma always said, "Bless your little heart!" and the other grandma always sighed, "Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm." You never know what little ones will pick up! --- Lois
It was Johnny's first day of school. The teacher advised the class to start the day with the pledge of allegiance, and instructed them to put their right hands over their hearts and repeat after him.
He looked around the room as he started the recitation, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." When his eyes fell on Johnny, he noticed Johnny's hand over the right cheek of his bottom.
"Johnny, I will not continue till you put you hand over your heart."
Johnny replied, "It is over my heart."
After several attempts to get Johnny to put his hand over his heart, the teacher asked, "Why do you think that is your heart?"
"Because every time my Grandma comes to visit, she picks me up, pats me here, and says, 'Bless your little heart,' and my Grandma wouldn't lie!"
A Sunday School teacher asked her class to draw a picture illustrating a Bible story. One paper handed in contained a picture of a big car. An old man with long whiskers flying in the breeze was driving. A man and woman were in the backseat. Puzzled, the teacher asked little Jimmy to explain his drawing. "Why, that is God. He's driving Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden."

Lauren, the little girl I take care of, was asking questions on how to get to heaven where Jesus was. I explained that some people died and if they believed in Him, they went right away to heaven. Others would have to wait for His return and we would float right up to Him. She exclaimed excitedly, "But Ms. Dee, I don't know where my swimmies are!"
by Laura in Florida:
When my daughter, Chelsie, was two years old, she decided to start answering the phone. One day the phone rang and I was ironing, so she picked it up. She talked for a minute or so and I called out to her to see who it was. She said that it was, "Aunt Eileen", my sister. I said, "Are you sure that it is Aunt Eileen?" She went back to the phone and said, "Aunt Eileen, are you sure this is you?" I have never doubted her since!

This past summer I paid a visit to my hometown and spent some time with my brother's three children. On one particularly rainy night we had dinner at a local restaurant. During dinner, news releases ran across the bottom of the television screens on display in the restaurant, warning of heavy summer thunderstorms that would be torrential at times. My oldest nephew asked me what the word 'torrential' meant. I explained that it meant 'very heavy'. Later that night we were at my parents' house, and my two nephews were wrestling. My youngest nephew jumped on his older brother, who then exclaimed, "Hey man, get off me!! You're torrential!!"

Our dogs easily recognize several words, so we are reduced to spelling words in front of them to avoid little doggie riots. For example, the words 'popcorn' or 'walk' can send them into a frenzy if spoken in front of them. My wife is so used to doing this, that she and her sister have adopted the practice with our 2 year old nephew. Last week, they were baking cookies together at our house. After lunch, my wife said, "Oops, I didn't make anything for dessert." So my sister-in-law offers, "Do you have a l-o-l-l-i-p-o-p?" To which my nephew chimes in with, "I want a green one!" Pretty sharp for a two year old! Now I'm beginning to wonder about the paw prints on the dictionary...
