A Lesson in Aeration & Enunciation

Today we have a megzo first! A celebrity guest post! I'll turn it over to Nana to finish up...

While visiting the Andersons this last week, I was treated to many wonderful emotions and moments. At 63, it seems like learning two new things in one week was impossible, but it happened.

Lesson One

While Tanya & Woody were not home – Megan & I went out to the back yard to pick some lilacs, which were against the back fence. As I was crossing the lawn, I was astonished at the 'thousands' of Lucy droppings all over the place. I thought, 'T&W are so busy with work & kids, I should really clean up this gross lawn for them'. Nevertheless, Megan & I tiptoed over & back to the flowers very carefully. When Tanya came home, I delicately mentioned my assessment of the lawn. Tanya laughed & said, 'We just had the lawn aerated!' So all those 'droppings' were really little chunks of sod. Me being raised on a farm! Shoulda known better!

Lesson Two

I was taking a movie of Megan telling me about her toys. I had also brought her a cup of dry cheerios for a little snack. Nana says 'Tell me about that pretty pink animal whose name is Penelope'. While I was asking I did not notice that she was stuffing her mouth with cheerios – she looked up with a very full mouth and said 'Pig'. That is what I call enunciation! Sometimes talking with food in your mouth does help in communication!
