Shelly Said What?

I have kept track of some of the things my Grandchildren have said to me over the years. Shelly was born 2/3/1980:

_____Date_____ They Said What?

Age 3

June 6, 1983 As we were going to the Indiana Dunes with Shelly we kept going through toll booths and finally Shelly asked why Grandfather was throwing away his money in those baskets.

June, 1983 Shelly had done something and I had said to her, "Well, bless your heart," and she ran to her mom and said, "Mommie, she blessed my heart!"

August 3, 1983 I called Shelly "My Darling" when we were visiting Grandma in Monroe and Shelly said, "Can I stay all night here at Grandma's with you? I want to stay and be ',b>Your Darling'."

August 5, 1983 Tom and I were going walking at Grandma's and Dave and Shelly were planning to join us, too. Tom was taking his time getting ready to walk, opening and shutting car doors, etc. Shelly said, "Is your Dad going to walk in the car???"

August 6, 1983 Dave blew up an inflatable Barbie doll chair and it immediately deflated. Shelly was very exasperated. I asked her if that was the chair that Dave had blown up and she said, "No, it's the one he blew down."

Age 6

June 7, 1986 Shelly called me into the guest room early one morning while still in bed and pointed to the left side of the bed and said, "Is this the wrong side of the bed, Nannie? I want to get up on the right side of the bed today."

June 8, 1986 Shelly and the twins from next door (Amanda and Melissa Presnak) plus Dave and Tom stayed in the pool on the deck almost all day! At 9 PM when they got out I said it's bedtime and Shelly said, "But, Nannie, we didn't get to play at all today!"

June 9, 1986 Shelly told me the last time she was visiting us (in April) I was nice and the twins were mean, but we must have practiced and changed places because now I am mean and they are nice. Can't win them all, Shelly.

June 19, 1986 Shelly said she was sad about her bus driver so I asked why and she said he got dead.

June 11, 1986 Shelly said sadly that she doesn't know how to play house or Mommie. A thought provoking comment, I would say.

Age 7

August 19, 1987 Shelly said in all seriousness, "My Dad has two wives. . . his step-wife and his real wife."

August 22, 1987 Shelly just can't get over me being 'so old' and still having a mother living. Makes me feel absolutely ancient! Just kiddin', Shelly.
