I can vividly remember when one of our grandsons was about three years old and did not want to take a nap. After he had been in his bed for about two minutes, he came out of his room and announced that he had finished his nap.
"You have to sleep," I told him. "Your body will tell you when it's time to get up."
You can probably guess what he said next, "My body says it's time."
With a smile, I sent him back to his room. Two hours later he woke up.
Kids can say some of the funniest things.
A friend recently sent me an e-mail with amusing things grandkids have said. Here are a couple of my favorites:
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire that hung from a tree in our front yard.
We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking it all in. At last the grandchild said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"
What are some funny things that your grandchild said?
He is able,
Mary
