I've never met anyone who understands me like she does, and it's too bad she lives so far away from me.<br />I like that your friend taught the kids that Ding Dongs are grownup food. I once had a friend who taught her twin boys that the ice cream man was giving shots. They would run and hide whenever they heard the truck coming.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-50069450744430875202010-05-06T20:27:34.466-07:002010-05-06T20:27:34.466-07:00I am a little late to this party as I have had no ...I am a little late to this party as I have had no time for the computer this week until now.<br />But I loved this post. <br />It is a GREAT gift to have a friend like this.

I know I am teaching my children to look at the glass half full. It is one of the most important skills one can have in life. I also thing being able to laugh at oneself is an asset, because life is hard for those who take themselves too seriously.<br />Dana<br />(I may have to get to know you a bit better before I pull out the yellow unitard, its one of those things that could scare off new friends : )Dana @ Bungalow'56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14925373078487563897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-28075889213697892522010-05-06T10:19:39.763-07:002010-05-06T10:19:39.763-07:00That was a beautiful post.
