Out of the mouths of babes…

We had the grandchildren over for diner the other evening; this was while the rains were covering us . Lucy had made spaghetti and there was plenty for everyone. The table conversation was focused on the weather. We were concerned about the creek coming out of its banks and the question was asked, “Where is all that rain going to go?”

Without missing a beat our three year old Jocelyne responded, “On the plain.”

“By George, she’s got it!” I let go with the next line from My Fair Lady. Lucy and I could hardly contain our laughter. We’ve been working with Jocelyne to improve her enunciation of words and sentences.

“And where’s that soggy plain?”

“In Spain, in Spain.”

“The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.”
