Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 7/10/02 "Castles of Sand" A couple of dogs from the next property over came to our place for a visit. Besides marking turf, they also paraded right through Ananda's sand castles that she's been making ever since the weather got warm. Instantly, she was brought to tears. "Well, Hon, this is bad and this is good," I said. She stopped for a moment and looked at me so I continued, "It's bad 'cause your old castles are gone." "Why's it good?" she wanted to know. "It's good because now you've gotten so much better at making them that your next creation is going to be even more fabulous!" "Oh Yeah!" she exclaimed. She sniffed, just once, and then ran outside to go chase the dogs away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Kheyala, This is the first adventure I have read. I don't have kids, but if and when I do, I hope to have the presence of mind to make the same kinds of suggestions as these. --jody. , "Kheyala" <kheyala@n...> wrote: > > 7/10/02 "Castles of Sand" > > A couple of dogs from the next property over came to our place for a visit.

You already do, and that won't change when you have kids. Kheyala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
