After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother
changed into old
lacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair.
As she heard the
hildren getting more and more rambunctious, her patience
grew thin. At last
he threw a towel around her head and stormed into their
room, putting them
ack to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she
heard the
hree-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her
own childhood
as like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a
swing made from a
ire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our
pony. We picked
ild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was
wide-eyed, taking this
n. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you
sooner!"
