No Means No

Animal behavior is fascinating.
Obviously this dog is well trained and the trick would be cute no matter who the subject of its refusal to accept the treat was, but given the current climate surrounding several political issues it takes on a life of its’ own.
Grandparents Through the Eyes of Children
March 21st, 2009
From my email:
Grandparents:
1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful
eyes of her young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before. After
she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, “But
Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!” I will probably
never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet
paper good-bye…
2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He
asked me how old I was, and I told him, 62. My grandson was quiet for a
moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”
3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard
the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room,
putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she
heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?”
4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own
childhood was like: “We used to skate outside on a pond I had a swing
made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our
pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.” The little girl was
wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d gotten
to know you sooner!”
5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know
how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halo and I said, “No,
how are we alike?” “You’re both old,” he replied.
6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word
processor. She told him she was writing a story. “What’s it about?” he
asked. “I don’t know,” she replied. “I can’t read.”
7. I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I
decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it
was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I
continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I think
you should try to figure out some of these, yourself!”
8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the
lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.
Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy
whispered, “It’s no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us
with flashlights.”
9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not
sure.” “Look in your underwear, Grandpa,” he advised, “mine says I’m 4 to
6.”
10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother,
“Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.” The
grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool.
“That’s interesting,” she said, “how do you make babies?” “It’s simple,”
replied the girl. “You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.”
11. Children’s Logic: “Give me a sentence about a public servant,” said a
teacher. The small boy wrote: “The fireman came down the ladder
pregnant.” The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. “Don’t you know
what pregnant means?” she asked. “Sure,” said the young boy confidently.
‘It means carrying a child.”
12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day
when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire
truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s
duties. “They use him to keep crowds back,” said one child. “No,” said
another. “He’s just for good luck.” ;A third child brought the argument
to a close.”They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire
hydrants.”
13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. “Oh,” he said, “she
lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then,
when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”
14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but
I don’t get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over; you hear gas leaks,
and they blame their dog.
I can attest to the age thing. Our youngest grandchild is obsessed with our ages and thinks we are OLD. I can remember asking my great-aunt what it was like in the “olden days” when I was about his age.

Big Things Come In Little Packages (Updated)
October 12th, 2008
This past Saturday Connie Talbot performed at the FYE store in the King of Prussia Mall here in Pennsylvania. Amazingly, this little girl was the runner-up in the British version of Idol.
My son happens to be the General Manger of the store which hosted this performance and he gave me the heads up that she would be there along with her Mom and Dad and management team. He said this little wonder is just a friendly and personable as you might imagine when you watch her perform.
Connie and her folks had one more performance lined up on Sunday on the Today show and were then flying back to England for her to attend school.
Lot’s of autographs were signed and fun was had by all and if you are looking for a CD for yourself or children or grandchildren “Connie Talbot, Over the Rainbow” is due to be released this Tuesday. Good Stuff..I have heard the pre-release.
Here is her performance from Saturday:
While I enjoyed watching the performance above, take a look at Connie Talbot and a young lady from Korea performing “You Raise Me Up.” You may not understand the announcer but when you see the blind child on piano it is sure to melt your heart!
*UPDATE: Please substitute the NBC 10 show for the Today show performance. My error! Sorry if this caused anyone any confusion but it seems I misunderstood a bit of the relayed information. Thanks!

Papa Duck
August 22nd, 2007
Isn’t this one of the cutest things you’ve ever seen? Scroll to view.
Here’s the story:
Mike Underwood, boating enthusiast and animal lover, didn’t expect to hatch an egg in retirement. But in his new role as mama duck, he’s having a blast.
Chipper — the duckling Underwood hatched from an abandoned egg three weeks ago — faithfully tags along at his heels. If Underwood breaks into a run, Chipper picks up the pace after him. If she can’t see him, she chirps loudly.“I don’t know if she’s got me or I’ve got her,” chuckled Underwood, 75, a retired locomotive engineer who dotes on his duckling. “I just think the world of her.”
It all began after Underwood, who owns a houseboat at The Lake Club Marina on Lake Wylie, watched a mother duck build a nest behind the boat’s passenger seat. The mother duck deposited six eggs there.
“I’d talk to her all the time,” he said. “She got where she didn’t mind me.”
Three weeks ago today, Underwood visited his houseboat and saw the mother perched on her nest. The next day, he found the remains of five hatched eggs. The mother was gone, leaving one last, unhatched ducking.
The abandoned duck egg had a tiny pinhole in it. Underwood picked it up and carefully peeled off the shell. Inside, he found a small, weak duckling.
“She didn’t have the strength to bust the shell off,” he said. “I pulled it off real easy. I didn’t think she was going to live.” He wiped off the membrane and dried the new duck with a towel.
“She couldn’t raise her head,” he said.
Underwood put the duckling on his chest, under his shirt, to keep it warm. “Every hour, she got a little better,” he said. “She bonded to me right away.”
Please excuse the quality of the photos but I cut them out of the local newspaper.
