Grandchildren - and the things they say

My grandson, Jalen, recently lost his second tooth. He didn't realize it had come out so did not have it to put under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy. Mum and Daddy suggested he write a letter explaining all of this to the Tooth Fairy.

During a recent visit with Nana Jalen sat down to compose his letter. Very independent at five years of age he insisted on "doing it myself" and did not want my help in any way. His note read as follows -

"I lost my tooth.
James and Tracey know it.
My name is Jalen."

He then folded his letter, put it in his pocket and proudly showed it to Dad when we arrived at his home the next day.

Life really is simple if we allow it to be.

I am heading East tomorrow for my summer vacation in Nova Scotia.

You enjoy your summer too.
