From The Mouths of Babes (babes being children, that is)

My youngest child will be 7 on Friday. We were coming home from play rehearsal tonight and he says, "Friday's my birthday and I get to take cupcakes or cookies to school and then when I get home, I get to go to Grammy's; that's really lucky!" I was very touched by the sweetness in that little boy's statement, feeling lucky to be able to spend his birthday with his grandparents. I have always been very proud of the fact that I have a close family and that I have a good relationship with my parents. To see my children have the same strong bond with my parents (and our extended family) makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth.
