Shorts

*Okay, Annie, Parker, and I were waiting for C. Jaye to come out of the house and join us in the car. Silence. And then Annie, "Grandma?" "Yes, Annie?" "Here is your hair." She reached up and handed me one white hair about 6 inches long. How did she know it was mine?

*Livy visited her Uncle Grey, Aunt Michelle and teen cousins last month. She is 6, and she was so excited to be there. She wanted in on everything, of course. Several of us were in the living room discussing something, and Livy crossed her legs, put her palms-up hands on her knees, and began chanting "Ooommmmm." After several attempts to engage us in her new activity, she finally said, "Look Everybody! I'm irritating!" The look on 13-year-old Hailey's face was priceless.

*Well, I've had twins. I've taught twins. But I've never seen twins do this. The grand-twins are all potty trained now, but when I walked past the bathroom door Friday, I glanced in and saw them butt-to-butt pee-ing on the potty together. Oh, my kingdom for a camera.
