BlogTruth & Wisdom from the Mouths of BabesPosted May 21st, 2012 by Thomas Norman DeWolfChildren are the most precious beings on earth — and they say the most special things. On a recent visit, my two little sweethearts, wandering around my office looking for things to get into, Julian picked up the book and looked at it quizzically. After a ponderous moment, he said: “This is you Shama?” (Shama is my grandma name) Intrigued, Violet came to his side to have a look… “This your book?” I explained that, “Yes, that is me and this is my book… I wrote it.” In turn, they each remarked: “What are you doing at the beach?” “Can we go to the beach with you next time?” There is nothing like the benefit of a child’s innocent wisdom.
