Jeanne Martin from OK told me -"I was sharing with my young granddaughter about a "gold medal" I received for a team building exercise. She said, "Grandma, it's not real. We got them in our class at school. Everyone gets them." Talk about bursting my bubble. Then she added: "But it does make you feel good."


From Judy, Ohio.
"I gave Sharon, my daughter, a guide from one of her father's tours of duty in the Navy. She found a picture that really showed her Dad's curly hair; showed it to Emily and told her that's where she got her curly hair. Em looked at it, gasped and declared, "Me got me curly hair from me Grandpa Bob!"


From April, Ohio
"My grandson Matthew at age 7 likes discovering the meaning of new words and phrases. When he heard the grownups talking about re-arranging the living room furniture, he heard me say that the couch could be set kitty-corner. He asked what that meant, but while I was explaining I was interrupted by something. He patiently waited for a few seconds. Then it became apparent we weren't going to get back to the topic. So he dashed off. A few minutes later, he returned with his sister's toy cat. When he was sure I was looking, he set in a corner. "Like this"? he asked not quite so innocently. Matthew likes to be a ham as well.

A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own hearts.Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four-year old David's comment.

Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and placed the disk over his heart."Listen", she said..."What do you suppose that is?"

He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap - tap - tapping deep in his chest.Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked, "Is that Jesus knocking?"


3-year-old Reese prayed: "Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen."

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."

The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool.

"That's interesting," she said, "how do you make babies?"

"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es.' "

Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher.

The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him.

"Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.

"Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."




PLAYING FAVORITES?

A six year old goes to the hospital with his grandma to visit his grandpa.

When they get to the hospital, he runs ahead of his grandma and bursts into his grandpa's room.

"Grandpa, Grandpa," he says excitedly, "as soon as Grandma comes into the room, make a noise like a frog!"

"What?" said his grandpa.

"Make a noise like a frog because grandma said that as soon as you croak, we're going to Disney World!!!"
