Bath time ended in a panic as he ran looking for his shoes where are they he asked? where are my hock and mole shoes? Now I am usually pretty good at interpreting 3 year olds, but this one took me by surprise. I racked my brain and still I was at a loss until we came across his new tennis shoes, bought the day before…. there they are, he exclaimed my hock and mole shoes… I shook my head, still in the dark (you know grandma's can be kind of slow at times) until it finally dawned on me- three times a week I attempt to keep my forty six year old frame in shape, and I know me, if exercise is pain then I won't do it, so I make it fun I dance to rock and roll instead. Stevie Ray's If the house is a rocking had my house cooking and if you'd come a knocking you'd have found me a huffing and a puffing, aerobically trying to hang onto my youth. And when the little one joined in, a sight so precious, it was too soon when my twenty minutes came to an end. So we didn’t stop, his come on grandma lets dance kept us going until we were both ready to drop. Now how the words rock and roll evolved in his little brain I don't know but until he finally grew into a new pair they bore the name…hock and mole. |

The more I read this, the more it makes me smile. Hock and mole... how easily our vocabularys expand to include such gems. *G* Well done!!! But I notice HFG didn't mention the clouds of hair flying around to choke anyone who came a'knockin'! LOL. Rock on, granny! LOL [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 07-20-2001).] |

What a great poem. I am amazed at what my little one says (she is 6). Actually I'm amazed at what my 17 year old says but that is for another reason altogether. The other day she asked if we could take a boat ride on the "sicken seas." Thanks for the poem. Jeen |
