“从婴孩儿的口中……”
我有机会在孙女生命的前四年里帮助她成长。泰勒·
我需要告诉你，我是一个从不骂人的人……等一下，
还记得几年前我们去银行的时候吗？对我来说，那是 28 年前的事了；他们过去常常给你那些五颜六色的水果味棒棒糖，
在我下一个银行日，那位女士果然给了我 2 个送给泰勒的棒棒糖。我回到家后，把它们给了泰勒，
这个故事的寓意是，不要说任何你不想从你宝贵的小“宝贝”嘴里听
今年圣诞节我们会为你们每个人祈祷。祝你们圣诞快乐……

“Out of the mouths of babes…”
I had the opportunity to help raise my grandchild for the first four years of her life. It was a privilege & joy to have Tayler Morgan & her mom, Aimee in my home. We had some wonderful times & Tayler Morgan was the smartest, funniest, most beautiful little girl I have ever known (is that a typical Grammy, or what!)
I need to tell you that I am a person that never curses…..now wait a minute, no offense to anyone that does. I was raised by a Mom that never said any slang or curse words. She would say, “Ladies do not say those kinds of words… especially little ladies.” So, I didn’t. This is where it gets interesting & a little bit funny. After I left home, & got married, I picked up a word that I know my Mom didn’t approve of, but it became my “go to slang word.” Here it is… “Crap!” Not very lady like but, I said it anyway, when the “word” fit the situation. Tay’s mom, Aimee asked me to stop using that word around Tay, she was picking it up & the next time she says it, Aimee said, “I will spank her” (those were the days that you could actually spank your child without anyone accusing you of being a bad parent). I told her I would not say that word again. I did not want Tay to get a spanking because of me & my unwise choice of the word, “Crap.”
Do you remember back when we went to the bank, years ago, for me it would have been 28 years ago; they used to give you those multi-colored fruit flavored suckers with the looped soft, twisted strings on them. The lady at the bank knew I had a 2-year-old granddaughter, & she used to give me 2 suckers every time I went through the drive thru. I always gave them to Tayler Morgan when I went home, & she loved banking days!
On my next banking day, sure enough the lady gave me 2 suckers for Tayler Morgan. When I got home, I gave them to Tay & then I left the room to make some dinner. Aimee was in the back of the house. I came back into the living room & there were the sucker strings & wrappers torn up & tossed on the living room floor. I said, “Tayler Morgan, what is that!?” She looked at me with her sweet little face & said, “Looks like Crap to me, Grammy.” Then I heard Aimee’s voice from down the hallway saying, “What did she say?!” I said, “Oh, nothing, she didn’t say anything,” as I was scrambling to pick up the mess in the floor & hide it quickly in the trash.
The moral of this story is, don’t say any words that you would not want to hear coming out of the mouths of your precious little “babes.”
We will be praying for each of you this Christmas. Have a very Merry Christmas…..and watch what you say around your little ones, or you could end up on Santa’s naughty list!
