Five things I see differently when I'm around grand kids:
- Accessories make any event a party. Umbrella toothpicks, for example.
- Food is more sensuous when you squeeze it between all ten fingers.
- It's helpful to be short, because people drop lots of cool stuff on the floor.
- Losing your dignity in public is totally freeing.
- Wearing 3-D glasses lets you see the whole picture with better perspective.
The greatest aid to adult education is hanging out with children. They haven't forgotten how to enjoy life, and this month I've had a lot of good reminders.

Yes, yes, but have any of them puked on your floor lately? I think that was your most excellent lesson this summer.
ReplyDeleteYou speak the truth!
ReplyDeleteI so agree. I miss children so much. I used to teach Nursery School (4 year olds, my favorite age) and worked for about 8 years in elementary schools, mostly with kindergarten and first grade kids (my favorite grades). The kids helped me feel young. I ache for grandkids.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you're a fan of complete loss of dignity in a public setting.
ReplyDeleteWould you consider coming on as our Nanny?
The pay is crummy and the kid is a tornado, but I'm sure the growing process is reward enough.
This is why I have continued to teach Kindergarten all these years!! Speaking of ... I get all my new ones on Monday!! Can you believe my summer is over:0
