Hi There!
This page is dedicated to all my grandkids, and, to any other kids who want to call me Mammaw.
I Just Love Them "Chilluns"--
They Are My Sunshine!!
SHE CHANGED HER MIND! | She used to think children belonged in bed by seven...
but that was before she realized children need to be played with and loved. | She used to think wise adults saved their money...
but that's before a child sold her 5 chances on a live pony. | She used to think babies cried just to get attention...
but that's before she realized that's the way a child communicates. | She used to think children's feet belonged on the floor...
but that's before she conceded that to give a kiss a child sometimes has to climb on the white sofa with muddy feet. | She used to think a little whack on the backside never did a child any harm...
but that was before she realized they had feelings too. | She used to think a child should clean up every bit of food on his plate...
but that was before she acknowledged he had taste too, and maybe he didn't like it. | She used to think children should obey their parents at all times...
but that's before she realized some parents can be unreasonable. | She used to think an upset stomach could be ignored...
but that's before she realized a trip to the doctor alleviates unnecessary fears. | She used to think school plays and programs were a bore...
but that's before she realized the great talent that some children harbor. | She used to think children should never miss a day of school...
but that was before she admitted that a short winter vacation to a warm climate never stifled anyone's learning processes. | She used to feel that allowances were wrong..,
but that's before she realized that rewards can be a great incentive. | She used to feel that pictures of children put people to sleep...
but that's before she discovered such beauty should be shared. | She used to feel that eating cookies in the afternoon ruined a child's dinner...
but that was before she figured out one ruined meal wouldn't throw a child into malnutrition. |
Oh, yes---she used to raise children with a firm hand and a logical heart- - -
But that was before she became a Grandparent!!
