\"Picture<\/p>\n

I saw some young friends playing in their driveway this morning and went over to show off my Raggedy Ann outfit. H and C were excited about the outfit–and eager to tell me that C had a whole collection of Raggedy Ann dolls. Then, looking at me one more time, C announced “You should keep your mouth shut.”<\/p>\n

I was a bit taken aback–I’ve never had a preschooler talk to me that way before, especially not one so obviously in a good mood. Her next words reassured me, though “‘Cause Raggedy Ann doesn’t open her mouth.” Oh, okay. I can understand that.<\/p>\n

I explained that it was really difficult to keep my mouth shut. (I’m sure many of you can testify to that fact. LOL!) After all, I have to talk to people and eat and drink and all sorts of things. C continued to watch me during my entire explanation, and once I had finished, declared “You have a nice smile.”<\/p>\n

I was, once again, taken aback–I’ve never had a preschooler talk to me that way before, especially not one so obviously in her right mind. I guess she could have been talking about the painted on black marks, but even so, it was a very nice compliment.<\/p>\n

Thanks, C dear, you pretty much made my day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
