Before I could even react, she got up from her face plant, dusted herself off (luckily, she is very light and simply bounced off the wall), and said to no one in particular, “That’s alright, I’m O.K.” and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Conversations With My Granddaughter

My oldest granddaughter is three and she, her sister, and her parents are visiting us.

Granddaughter: “Grandpa!!”

Grandpa: “You’re awake!”

Granddaughter: “Come quickly I see a doggie outside by itself.”

Grandfather (joining his granddaughter at her window): “Maybe it was a baby deer.”

Granddaughter: “Surely, a baby deer wouldn’t be without her mother!”
