OUT
OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
"I don't want an new baby." This was the oldest
son, Brian's response when told his father and mother were expecting a third child.
They had survived the first round of sibling rivalry when his brother, Damian,
was born. But now three-year-old Brian had made his stand about this new baby
and neither logic, reason nor persuasion could budge him. Puzzled, his mother
asked him "Why don't you want a new baby?". With wide and teary eyes,
he looked straight at her and said "Because I want to keep Damiam!".
Miracles
are instantaneous. They cannot be summoned but they come of themselves, usually at unlikely moments and to those who least expect them. |
Everyone
is attractive when they smile. |
