My 8 year old granddaughter "Jossy" asked me one day---Grandmommy, why do you work so much? I hardly see you. Don't you ever get tired?"
I smiled and told her "No, sweetheart your Grandmommy is a tough old bird!"
"Old bird," she repeated questioning. She thought about it and went out to play.
A few days later on one of my rare days off, I was busy in the kitchen. Jossy asks me, " what are we going to eat Grandmommy? I'm hungry!"
I held out my arm and told her, "eat me I'm good."
My granddaughter didn't miss a beat. She then replied, "I don't think that would be a good idea Grandmommy."
"Why not", I asked.
Jossy continued to say, "I don't think you'd taste too good. You said that you were a tough old bird."
Never forget what jewels your children and grandchildren are.
