When kids drive you to the burn unit

We were RVing with my folks when the kidlets were little. Grandma and I took Ivygirl with us to the showers.

She wanted to shower with Grandma. So Grandma soaped her up, rinsed her off, and sent her toddling over to my stall so she’d have room to take her own shower.

Ivygirl comes into the stall, clutching the towel about her tightly. I laughed and said, “Sweetie, you don’t have anything Grandma and I don’t have!”

She looked up at me and without missing a beat, declared, “Yes, I do! Beauty!”

Was recently visiting with my brother’s family and was out for lunch with the 12 year old nephew. After eating I say to him “do I have any food on my face?” and he says “yeah there’s a problem here…” and points to my entire face. :slight_smile:

Not sure if this qualifies, but: When my son was little, he told me, “I know the secret about Santa Claus. (Pause) Even when I’m naughty, he gives me presents!”
