I guess the idea of "a bike and the world" and your grandkids acting adorably made me think of my boy. When he was 5, getting ready to go to Pre K, he cried for a long time because he didn't want to stay in school. We did everything together. I told him "One day you'll hate having me around because you'll think I'm not cool." He stopped crying, made his most upset face and said "You'll never be no cool."<br /><br />He asked to go out dancing with him a couple of weeks ago--he is 21 now. We went. We were dancing and he said "You'll always be the coolest, Tia." I began to cry like a loon, and of course, he couldn't figured out why. I might tell him one of these days...Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-773859491234201422011-08-03T14:20:21.150-05:002011-08-03T14:20:21.150-05:00LOL - kids are so direct & have no idea (I hop...LOL - kids are so direct & have no idea (I hope!) of the impact of their words.
