OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES.......

Over the weekend, (just passed) I sat on my patio (porch) and was watching Matilda (my Dingo) frolicking (playing) in the long grass.
I said to myself, “self, best you get the “Victa” (lawn mower/grass cutter) out and mow (cut) the lawn” (grass).

I sat there and thought about what I had just said to myself, mmmmm I thought I should mow the lawn. “One day I’ll get around to it” I answered myself.

About an hour later my eldest daughter came to visit bringing with her my most favorite human alive, My Princess Trinity, (granddaughter) (I actually call her Toodles sometimes, the helper on the Mickey mouse Clubhouse cartoons). The smile she bought upon my face, she is just the most beautiful person I know.
“Toodles” asks me “Papa” (that’s what she calls me, sometimes she says “Simmo”) have you finished building my playhouse yet” Oh O I thought, “sweetheart” I said, “I promise I’ll get around to it and have it ready next weekend for you, is that ok?” “Of course Papa, I know you will” she says with her big bright beautiful blues eyes looking straight at me.

We play with Matilda (see above) for about 15 mins and are having the time of our lives when next my Son turns up unexpectedly.

After the pleasantries, my son asks me, “Old man” (that’s what he calls me, and that’s ok, cause I call him boy….lol) have you gone and got those golf clubs you said you were going to buy yet?” Good Grief, something else I had forgot, “Nah, not yet boy,( see i do call him boy) I’ll do that when I get around to it ok”

So why am I telling (well writing) all this I hear you all ask. (Well I guess you are asking).

Today, the apple of my life, my dearest granddaughter came and visited me again today when I arrived home from work. (She lives less than 500 yards from me).

“Papa, look, look what I have made for you today at playgroup” (did I mention that she is only 3 ½ years old). “Show me princess, what did you make for Papa?”
With that, she handed me a round piece of wood with the word tuit written on it.
“Now papa you have a round tuit”.”you can mow the lawn, finish building my playhouse and go and buy yourself some golf clubs” she continued on.
God bless her, she is just the best.

This is an absolute true story.
