My two-year-old grandson Axel increases his communication skills every week. His latest new skill is to announce that "I want not want" yogurt or apples or whatever it is he doesn't want. This sounds pretty illiterately redundant but it is actually quite brilliant (spoken with grandmotherly pride, of course!)

I rented the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" recently and laughed enough to greatly lift my mood!

I called my daughter and her husband to ask if they wanted to borrow my copy to watch. My son-in-law answered. I asked him: "Have you seen Little Miss Sunshine?"

"I think she's in the bathroom," he responded.
