Darnedest things! - by Grandma Jean


Darnedest things! *


WARNING! Cute kid story ahead, from Grandma Jean:

"Last week, I was at my daughter and son-in-law's house to watch my two grandchildren for the evening (a boy who is 5 and a girl who is 2).

"She had a cold and wasn't quite herself, so I thought I'd give her a warm bath and try to get her to bed a little early.

"When she was in the bathtub, her nose was running and I said: 'Come closer so I can wipe the boogies off your nose.' After I wiped her nose, I said 'See the boogies?' and showed her. With a stern, serious look, she said to me: 'DON'T EAT IT !' "

 The Oak
by 
Alfred Lord Tennyson
== // ==
Live thy Life,
Young and old,
Like yon oak,
Bright in spring,
Living gold;

Summer-rich
Then; and then
Autumn-changed
Soberer-hued
Gold again.

All his leaves
Fall'n at length,
Look, he stands,
Trunk and bough
Naked strength.
  

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
