since having a child of my own, I have noticed a few things about woman in their 80's:
1. they will want to know their name.
if it is a different name, prepare to repeat it a number of times.
2. they will want to know how old.
3. they don't care what you are doing. they will stop you in your tracks, interrupt your dinner, stop you in the aisle and get in your face to see your baby.
then they will coo and ahh and make silly faces and talk in silly tones to get a smile.
I just love watching their faces.
The pure joy that they get.
And seriously... who wouldn't want to make this face smile...
Very true! I think it's super sweet to see how much joy a baby can bring to the elderly. The sad thing is that society forgets about these senior saints and we miss out on all their wisdom. Thanks for sharing dear!
