Re: The News

I remember my neighbour's little girl who was about five at the time, running up to me outside my house and declaring 'I've been crying... look' she said pointing to her tearful eyes, before running back indoors.

Aw, how lovely is that. It will never happen to me, sadly, being a lone male. In today's world we're looked on with a certain amount of suspicion.

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.

Good job he is no longer two years old

Mastering speech at 19 months eh? Wow!

Most adults never master it.

Hi

I was informed by Pippa, age 6, who lives next door, with little sister Maisie, that only Mummy can give them Ice Creams.

If I had any ice creams or lollies I could give them to Mummy and she could give them to her and her sister.

She will go far.

Re: The News

I started talking when I was about 5 months old and haven't stopped!

Our eldest girl started talking at a similar age and by the time she was 14 months old was talking in proper sentences. When she was 18 months old her father was reading her the unabridged version of 'Wind in the Willows', which she thoroughly enjoyed, and would ask questions about the story.

She is very bright as are all our three girls, a good job they take after their father, and not their mother in the brains department.

It's said these days that kids get their brains from their mothers.

Although my grandson doesn't seem to have.

Re: The News

I am so glad our birth daughters are highly intelligent, my husband was an academic before his brain haemorrhage, therefore academic prowess was top of the agender in our home when they were young.
