The News
My charming neighbor, Max, just came by to ask me for a cookie.He's three, emphasized by carefully folding fingers so as to show three digits.
We had a wonderful conversation before his mother caught up with him.
During our brief exchange I was told, very gravely, that thunder is no good. Worse, his dog ate the hamburger wrapping, and there is a black cat over there (across the street).
Getting news of that quality and accuracy was easily worth the price of an oatmeal raisin cookie, or have I been had?
You all can join me in the security of knowing that we are all safe (aside from those bothersome lightning strikes), and caught up on the neighborhood happenings.

It's mind boggling how accurate they are Surfermom!My eight year old neighbour Cerys informed me she had a new kitten called Sophie
And she was right!
On the other side, Lexie (also eight and with a voice like
a foghorn) told me ..and the rest of the street (!) that there were big ants and baby ants on my front garden wall
I honestly don't know how I'd get by without their vigilance

Ah, good, good, Rhian. I was wondering how things were going over there.Yes, the vigilance is outstanding and the news ever reported with great sincerity.
One of my favorite encounters was when one of my neighbors, about five, burst out of her house to flag down my parents who were just pulling up in their car. Breathlessly, she told my dad that her parents were having a fight and that her dad said he wanted her mom's brother - OUT. My dad had no idea what to say
.Not quite as important news as ants, but she was spot on, nonetheless.

Re: The News
I'm looking after my little 19month old grandson at the moment he is just mastering speach.... he is very observant pointing at everything telling me what it is for instance...car...sky...tractor... that sort of thing.He is also good at deciding if he likes people pretty quickly and tells them Bye Bye quite emphatically if he doesn't.
