    The earthmelon and the airmelon were burnt up by the firemelon in a disco inferno. The watermelon put out the firemelon, but was too late to save the others, so he's the only one left.

        Is a waterfall the opposite of a firefly? ( don't blame she, she is 9 years old - this is her thought not mine. I could never come up with this :-D )

        If you enjoy collecting great statements from kids: I didn't write down the exact date; my daughter was somewhere between two and three years old. Usually the fluorescent light in the bathroom is on 24/7, but for some reason, it was turned of, so I had to switch it on when we went in for her evening bath. The light flashed a few times, as fluorescent lights do, and my daughter exclaimed: "Wow! The light shook on!" Isn't that a great way of describing how fluorescent light turn on?

          It is a brilliant thought; it shows that she thinks, something most homo sapiens sapiens incapable of. Encourage her, in any way.

            My about-to-be sister-in-law, when she was 8, posed the following question once when she was told she wasn't allowed to do something: "Why not? It's a semi-free country!"

              What would you think a proper reaction when my daughter, age something like eight or nine, admitted: "You're no real man, dad, but you're so cute!

                    Like the old man said: I don't see too well any more. And I don't hear too well. And I don't smell too well, either."

                      It occurred to me … Could you have a grand daughter that is not your granddaughter?
