Who Says That You Can't Teach Old Folks...

New Tricks?

by rhonnie69


"Hi there world. It's Me...Wild Flower.
How Dad dreamed up that name...
I don't know that I'll ever know."

"Here...you see me, my grampa, and my pet, Bambi.
"I'm nine. Grampa must be at least twelve...

'cause he's all the time treating me like a little girl...
and Mom lets him."

"Oooooo! That bakes my bunns."

"Today...I'm teaching Grampa how to feed Bambi.
While I'm in school, he is my baby sitter."

"When I was just a little kid of six, well...maybe six and a half,
I taught him how to teach Mom how to let me eat a bunch of sweet junk stuff...(Mom calls it,)
instead of her stuff...and she don't get all bent out of shape about it."

"Mom's a bit hard-headed...so she's not gotten very good at learning that so far.
Dad's not a heck of a bunch of help...all he ever does is echo what Mom says like a parrot...
so he stays after me making sure I do what Mom says do."

"Hooooo. Good mercy spare me."

"Mom's my new...no...wait...yeah...Mom's my nutritionist. Can you imagine that?
I looked it up. I asked my teacher. It means someone who tells you what you can and can not eat."

"Gramma keeps me tucked under her arm pit most of the time.
She says I'm the spit and image of her little tu tu, Mom."

"I say Mom does sort of look like me...
but she declares that I look like her.
That makes me feel proud of myself...so...

I LOOK LIKE MOM."

"Teaching adults...especially parents and school teachers...(OLD GOLD) I call them...
is a tuff job...but somebody's gotta do it."

"Who else? Who's the best teachers for grown-ups?
YES. YOU GUESSED RIGHT."

"The best teachers for you grown-ups are us...
YOUR CHILDREN."

"Don't take my word for it...ASK GOD."

"JESUS SAID."

"I say to you...you gotta become new...and be like one of my children.
That's the only way that you can enter My Kingdom."

"I read that in Mom's Holy Bible.
So I took it that He was talking to her and all grown-ups like her."

"SO...Who says that you can't teach old folks new tricks?

"Our God says that we can...and that we should."

"WHY?
See for yourself. Check out my notes.
Then follow my path."
