From The Mouths Of Babes
« on: March 14, 2008, 05:42:47 PM »
It's currently 85 degrees here, so I have all the windows open and I'm enjoying the fresh air.....meanwhile....

I have my ProjectPlaylist playing on the internet.  The song "Vincent" by Don McLean came on.  I was singing along, as is almost always the case.

Then I heard this little voice say, "Mister, you sure have a pretty voice".   It startled me, of course.

I got up and walked into the living area.  I saw the most adorable little girl with her face pressed against the screen of the big window.  The window is so low to the ground, even she had to get on her knees to see in. 

I said, "Well, thank you, sweetie".

This girl is a total stranger.  She is black, about 8 or 9.  She has the most angelic face, just beautiful. 

I don't know where she came from or where she went.  Our next door neighbor is a black couple.  They don't have any kids. 

Should I be concerned?  You think maybe the Angels are scouting for a tenor? 

If I don't post tomorrow, well, it's been great!

We're just beta testing a new VRWC surveillance robot.  Nothing to worry about.

I appreciate that.  My usual partner (my granddaughter) has gone to spend the weekend with my daughter.  I am alone here tonight.  I am breaking open a bottle of rum that has been in the cabinet for a few years.  I may get a bit silly....so watch out!

Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man" is playing now.....maybe I can stand by the window and scare the Angel away. 

They'll think I am a radical homosexual and let me live!

Let be the first to say there is no way we will be able to tell the difference from your "normal" posts.

That is a sweet story. My bet is that she belongs to friends who are visiting your neighbors.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'd only give it two, except the little sweetheart spoke the truth.   Lord love her little ears.
