Don't you just love them Sandra

My oldest son, when he was about 4 always used to root around in the bin for Cornflakes boxes and have a look inside them. When I asked him why he did it he said "because Grandad told me thay you found me inside one and decided to keep me". This made me laugh and cry at the same time because my Dad died when my son was only just over 18 months old.

The same man told me that he went to Chester Zoo for a parrot and brought me home instead. lol

A bit different from the Stork story.

Ann,
you are so right. They are a blessing.
Sandra,
Would be a lot less painful if we could choose them from a catalogue though.

How lovely and shows how children do believe what we tell them. My father told me he was born a girl and the gypsies took him out of the pram and left a boy!!! Over sixties years later and I can still remember that!
