How sad is that? <br />I just wish I don't have to see my kids get cynical.<br /><br />@ Fiona - it is blissful,isn't it?<br /><br />@ Laura- thank you. And I think most of us to- it is the rest of the world that seems to think we are crazy<br /><br />@ Jemi- we do, don't we?<br /><br />@ Alex- my kids are still kids, but I can see time running out.<br /><br />@ Leigh- we have kids at that age when they start to cross the boundary between child and whatever comes after. <br /><br />@ Katheryn- life was, wasn't it? Perhaps because we were less cynical and jaded.<br /><br />@ Mason- couldn't agree more<br /><br />@ Melissa- try to spend some time with that kid in you.<br /><br />@ Clarissa- it is a pity, isn't it?<br /><br />@ Elizabeth- thank you. <br />I didn't even know I had word verification up. I do hope you would try again later.<br /><br />@ Stephen- I was right. Most of us are in far more in touch with who we were than the general populace. And that kid can teach us quite a few tricks<br /><br />@ SueAnn- sad, isn't it?Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-47755387759548138462010-09-27T16:29:57.928+05:302010-09-27T16:29:57.928+05:30I agree with Clarissa...we don't ask that ques...I agree with Clarissa...we don't ask that question enough. <br />Hugs<br />SueAnnSueannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299288406218968621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-38080167149265979702010-09-27T10:24:01.442+05:302010-09-27T10:24:01.442+05:30I'll never lose touch with that little rascal....I'll never lose touch with that little rascal.
