WHERE IS THE BABY?

Now I suppose because you know

that we have a
New Grandbaby
that I am talking about

THAT baby, right?

Nope!

I am talking about

SweetCheeks Bitty Baby.

She had one of the twins.

It looked a lot like her..

dark hair and sweet little

chubby cheeks.

I made a whole suitcase

of clothes for this baby.

And now it seems it has

gone missing.

Where IS your twin, SweetCheeks?

I dunno!

Is it in the basement?

No.....

Is it in your room?

Noo...

Is it in your toy basket in the family room?

Nooo Nana!  I telled you I dohn't know

where it is.

We sit in silence for a minute or so.

Nana?

Yes, honey?

I knhow where it is and Ih'll

tell you, okay?

Okay!

You know my Mom?

Yeah?

Well, she taked it in the woods

where the deers hide and lefted it there.

She did?

Yeah...I know so and guess what?

WE cahn't go in there because

there are NO DEER signs

that sumbudy putted up.

Really? (asked rather disbelievingly)

SerioUSly, Nana!  Thass whut happened!

(Notice how the head is now turned down

and away from my piercing glance?;>)

An hour later we were sitting at

Starbucks with Mama and Uncle Ryan.

So, I mention casually to Mama,

I hear you put SweetCheeks doll

out in the woods with the deer.

As soon as I said that

SweetCheeks stuffed her mouth

full so she couldn't answer any

questions.

REALLY?  Mom asked...Where

did you hear that?

SweetCheeks told me.

SweetCheeks swallowed her mouthful

Ummmm..I think I makeked a mistake.

Uh...yeah...I think you did!

To punish - or not to punish-

(Does it count as a YES if everyone turns

their head to the side when they laugh
so that SweetCheeks doesn't see it)?
