This was the scene in our living room tonight. My mother dropped in to bring us some fresh pineapple she had cut up--a delicious treat! Then she got distracted by a puzzle of the USA that Josiah was working on.There are several puzzling aspects of this picture...
1. Why in the world is this dear woman sacrificing her poor aching knees to kneel on the hardwood floor? (Oh, the lengths to which a grandmother will go to express her love to her grandchild!)
2. Are there no tables in the house where the puzzle could be placed and the people could sit?
3. How in the world will this dear woman ever get up from this position?
4. When will Josiah learn that the states are called "states," not "countries"? (Despite continual reminders, he always calls them countries..."Mommy, here is the country of California, and here is the country of Virginia, and here is the country of Texas, and here is the country of Florida." I patiently explain, "That's great, sweetie! You really know a lot of states! They're called "states." There are 50 of them in our country. Our country is called the United States of America." But my words fall on deaf ears!)
