Question: is it an indication that perhaps the wine flows too freely at our family gatherings when at lunch today my 2 year old granddaughter raised her sippy-cup filled with milk and smiled, "Cheers!" ??  _________________ So far, so good. |

Georgia, my brothers would clink glasses and say cheers to each other when they were little - they're only 15 months apart so it was more like having a set of twins for my parents.
Thanks for the memory! _________________ Doing what you like is freedom

Georgia haha just wait 'til she does that in preschool!
When I was little, my parents went to a costume party dressed as a calypso girl and a rumrunner . I understood the dancing dress and the huge hoop earrings, but I remember my father trying to explain what a rumrunner was!
I also remember my mother telling me that "There, but for the grace of God, go I" is what you say when somebody falls off a barstool. I really can't recall the context for that discussion! |

Hee hee. How funny. I love the openness! But how confusing for a child. And as far as the tipping of glasses goes, I think it's sweet. More of a celebration of friendship than commentary on the wine, I think. _________________ Catering Indianapolis |
