Herbi, that's a wonderful story! Did the girl live?

Chas...that's what I have to look forward to!

I gotta wonder if that med student thought she was asking about something else and just got confused and used the wrong word. I sure hope so, because it's pretty scary otherwise!

A few weeks ago we were up a little later than usual.

When I got home Renee was frantically moving Nathan's bed from the wall next to ours to the FAR side of the room.

When I asked her why she was doing that she said that that morning Nathan had asked her "Why were you running an electric pencil sharpener last night?" Well, we do NOT own an electric pencil sharpener.

It appears that closed closet and bedroom doors are NOT sufficient audio barriers.

We had been playing our whistles too, but she was taking no chances.

Some years ago in the fall my 4 yr old attended her first piano class , parents were present. The teacher asked, "does anyone feel rusty after summer vacation?" Rylie's hand shot up..."My moms feet get rusty in the summer but she puts lotion on them and they're much better!"
(I guess I had been complaining about how rough my heels were)!

My daughter had to go in for some minor surgery. They brought her into the recovery room. When she awakened sufficiently she began to cry and said I want my Daddy. The nurse came out to the waiting room and asked if I was Kim's daddy. I said yes. She said well come back with me. She is crying and says she wants her daddy. Kim was about 30.

There are times when you just want your daddy!

I started my oncology-research career working in pediatric oncology. ..... It was probably the most moving moment I've experienced in my career, in which I've been lucky (or unlucky, depending on the direction of movement) enough to have a number of moving moments.

Is this actually a first person story, H? I seemed to remember reading something like this once before a couple of years ago and did some research. I found this:

When my son was about 3 or 4, I asked him if he would like to say "Grace" before supper. He bowed his head a proceeded with "God is Great, God is Good, Thank him for this lettuce food." There was a big bowl full of salad sitting in front of him.

For those of you who don't know this childrens Grace, it goes "God is Great, God is Good, Let us thank him for this food." It was very hard hiding our mirth. By the way today is his 25th birthday!

Cheers,
Kathy

My youngest son was helping me plant the veggie garden for his first time and I asked him if he wanted to plant the corn and he said yes.

I got the bag and showed him how to put two kernels in each place 2 hand width's apart.

When he saw the kernels, he said, "I don't want to plant that kind of corn, I want to plant corn on the cob!"

My daughter called a fly swatter a fly paddle when she was little.
