A young family with two daughters (ages 5 and 7) went to both the viewing and memorial service of the beloved grandma. At the memorial service as the girls saw their grandma for the second consecutive day, lying in her casket, they asked their mother, "Why is Grandma wearing the same dress again today?" ~ Jeri in Illinois
I had to laugh the other day when our granddaughter, Ryan Elizabeth (8), came bouncing down the stairs while we were visiting, then said, "Now what was it I came downstairs to get?" ~ Lois in Virginia
We recently spent a week with our daughter's family and I helped our granddaughter, Ryan (8), with sewing projects she had bookmarked to make from a book we gave her earlier, "My First Sewing Machine Book." Her daddy said I should teach her how to sew clothes for her American Girl Doll, but I told him I thought that might be a little difficult for her since smaller clothes are more tedious to sew. Ryan told her daddy, "I need to learn the basics first." ~ Lois in Virginia
Two little boy cousins were playing together during our annual family get together. The older cousin was rather puzzled about why his younger cousin kept calling him "Table." When asked, the little boy told him he thought that was his name! The older cousin told him, "No, my name is Trey!" ~ Barb in Ohio
Savannah (8) came home from school yesterday and said she had to
borrow a recorder in music. I was surprised because I had made sure she
had hers in her backpack. She said, "Yeah but when I pulled it out to
play it, it had Playdoh stuffed inside it." Well played, Brooklyn (5), wrecking your "Type A" sister's life since 2010. ~ Lauren in Virginia
This girl...I sure do love her! She blocked the
sun from my eyes this morning and I said thank you! She said, "Just
doing my job, Mom." ~ Meghan in Texas
Today Mia (7) was talking about her new baby
sister (that she alone knows about) and she told Carter (5), "When my
baby sister gets here I am going to share a room with her, so you can
just start sleeping in the basement." ~ Elizabeth in Virginia
This evening Mia (7) told me she didn't think
she was going to eat supper tonight. Why? I asked her. "Because it's
white rice and I only eat brown." Mia, this is brown rice, I replied. "Ohhhhh! Well then, I'm eating supper tonight!" ~ Elizabeth in Virginia
Savannah (8): "Mom, dad was going to get you these other flowers
and I was like "Dad, her favorite is yellow roses and you should know
this so let's shop over here." Bahaha I love my little clone. (I got
yellow roses, for the first time in 10 years of marriage.) ~ Lauren in
Virginia
Mia (7): "Mommy I have a bug bite." Where Mia? "On my
leg." What part of your leg? "The fat side." What? "Well, the top
is the skinny side and the back is the fat side." And now we know! ~
Elizabeth in Virginia
