Hello Everyone.
Cliches are lost on pre-schoolers. Our landlord, Dennis, is a gruff and grouchy old man, and full of them. My 3 1/2-year-old daughter Neva, however, likes him just the same and she'll talk his ear off anytime he is here.
A few weeks ago, Dennis was painting the trim around our front door. When Neva and I were leaving to do some errands, Neva didn't make it past the door without bumping into the fresh paint. Dennis offered to take her jacket and clean it with paint thinner telling her, "I'll get it clean quicker than you can spit."
Neva looked at him very puzzled, and asked "You're gonna spit on it, Dennis?"
Happy sweeping,
