A More Innocent Time

 Carol mentioned in her first post that she hoped stories about grandchildren would be shared.  I have stories written by my grandchildren to share. I found the stories as I was going through some papers.  Jacob and Mya wrote them for me when I was babysitting them. The date was February 2, 2016. It was a Tuesday. Mya was six years old. Jacob was ten.  Jacob illustrated his story. He had excellent hand writing. The name of his story was Late For the Eye Doctor. It told about a sky diver named Tom who was late for an eye appointment.  🙀😩. Tom finally sees the optometrist, but it is nighttime when he does.

Mya’s story is The Mystery of  the Ice Cream Cone. She dictated it to me.

Angel wants an ice cream cone. She went to Braums. She got 3 scoops of ice cream in her cone. After Angel took a lick of her ice cream, the ice cream cone came alive.  The ice cream caused trouble!  It splattered ice cream everywhere!  Angel called the police. 👮‍♂️ The policeman said 

“Just eat the ice cream!”

The End

It is nice to look back to a more innocent time.  We had challenges in 1916, but this is a much more complicated time.  Everything seems more tense now.  Hopefully times will get better.  We have some very sweet children in our family.  They, and all the children, deserve to feel hopeful.

  

 Hope we get some cute stories about the grandchildren. Here's one Honor wanted me to tell. Every spring Vanessa buys lots of flowers to plant around the house. So Allison knows flowers when she sees them. When   Allison (31/2) is here she  likes to see what I have in the freezer. When she was here on Friday she asked to have a look, hoping, I'm sure, there was ice cream, She saw a bag of white stuff and asked what it was. I told her cauliflower did she want some. She thought she did. So I fixed her some. When I put it on her plate she asked whats that. I said it's cauliflower. She said that's not flowers. She wasn't eating any of that. 👎  Next time I may try turnips. Turnips are the new potatoes.  I'm surprised they taste good.  I'm going to try turnip souffle.  

Thank You 🙏
