After enjoying a delicious meal at O’Toole’s Public House in Grand Rapids, I went swimming at the downtown YMCA. For whatever reason, children are attracted to me. This evening, 7-year-old twin girls asked me to watch as they each performed hand stands in the water.
Applauding each girl, the more outgoing twin, Caroline, asked me if I could do a handstand. “No, I am an old woman. How old do you think I am,” I asked.
She answered without hestitation, “200 years old!” I immediately responded, “You guessed correctly!”
Then Caroline began jumping from one foot to the other with a letter ‘L’ formed by her right hand and shouting something I couldn’t understand.
When I asked her to repeat herself, twin Angela joined the dance and shouted the same word. Still puzzled, I asked them to spell the word. L – O – S – E – R!
“Why am I a loser?” I asked.
The girls responded, “Because you can’t do handstands in the water!”
From the mouths of children!
