HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
We were doing the weekly ritual of trimming everyone's nails that needed
them today, and I saw that Kaitlyn's were pretty stubby because she
chews them quite often. When I asked her if she had been chewing them,
she said "No, I don't know why they aren't growing. I haven't been
watering them!"

When my sister teased her four-year-old daughter by suggesting she liked
a boy in her kindergarten class, the little girl was quite indignant.
"No mummy, I don't" she replied, "because he's only interested in one
thing."
Shocked, my sister cautiously asked what that might be. "Power Rangers,
of course," said the toddler.

During the Persian Gulf War, I was assigned to go to Saudi Arabia. As I
was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher,
was holding on to my leg and pleading with me not to leave. "No, Daddy,
please don't go!" he kept repeating.
We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him,
said, "Let Daddy go and I'll take you to get a pizza."
Immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a
calm voice said, "'Bye, Daddy."
