Thank God for children. Especially the kind that know how to be cute without getting on your nerves.
Today I met Grace. She is a blonde-haired blue eyed beauty that is going to be a knock out when she grows up. When I first saw her she seemed super shy and scared. Then she turned around and looked at me with her blue eyes are started barking. I said, "And what are you supposed to be? A dog?"
"Nooooo!" she said and she continued with her little charade. Then I noticed on the tail end of her woof she put a whoooo. So she was saying "Woofwhooo!"
"Then what are you supposed to be?" I asked again.
"A dog owl!" She said. "Guess, what? Dog owls look like dogs but they have big owl eyes! And and and, guess what? They can turn their heads all around the way behind their head!"
This little girl was starting to make me smile...
"Wow, I said. Do you have a dog owl?"
"Noooo" she laughed. "But guess what? I have a dog. Her name is Sophia, but you can call her Sophie or Soph."
Now I was starting to fall in love with this little one.
"And guess what?"
"What?" I said sincerely interested.
"I have a turtle and his name is Myrtle."
She had my heart.
So basically my night was turned around by a little girl named Grace whose favorite phrase is "guess what?" and has a turtle named Myrtle. :)
