Out of the mouth of babes!! I can imagine how fun your road trips used to be and it was evident how much you loved Morgan. With every story that I read, I tend to love her a little more. What a silly little girl she was and I can see why you miss her so much. Thanks for sharing her with us with these amazing and well written stories. Love, Debi

Yep, she was a rascally one. Grandpa taught her to say "I feel better" when she farted or burped. Her parents were not impressed.

Oooh, I had a niece and a nephew that were taken from us way too soon and I think that is bad, but my own grandchild I can't imagine. God bless you dear friend for telling these lovely stories.

The honesty of children can be rewarding, embarrassing, questionable and at times detrimental as in this case. Though the ticket for speeding was a foregone conclusion, at least you got a chuckle from law enforcement ...
Great short story.
Cheers,
John

You've just taken me back to that Old Art Linkletter show, "Kids say the darndest things," which they do. I used to think it was just kids, but now days, adults are sometimes even worse. Don't let them know anything you don't want repeated. LOL. Thanks for sharing and starting my dad off with a laugh.

Morgan was mischievous.

Hello Esther,
since I'm not three, is it OK if I ask what sex lights are? Was he referring to the strobe lights of the police cruiser? Boy, out of the mouths of babes huh? Good thing Grandpa didn't smell like whiskey. Thanks for sharing this gal.
Have a blessed evening.

When you are making out in a car, and the police show up. Being a missionary kid in boarding school without a boyfriend ... Gary was a rascal. He has a CDL and protects his license. Morgan just instinctively knew what to say.
Comment from lyenochka
I'm not sure what "sex lights" refers to - a code word for the police? Was Grandpa Gary drinking whiskey and driving? You said "Gary has a CDL and never speeds" but the policeman said he was speeding. That's an awkward moment!

Police lights when you are making out in a car. Gary was a rascal. He rarely drinks whiskey and never when he drives because he wants to keep his CDL. Morgan was a precocious tease. I was an innocent missionary kid, so she didn't get it from me.

Oh my gosh, how hilarious!!! Kids can say the darndest things, can't they? They have no filters. I'm sure Grandpa Gary could have had a few choice words for her, lol. My 3 year old granddaughter we're fostering right now likes to open conversations with strangers with, "My mommy's in jail". They never know what to say... Hopefully it won't get me any tickets, lol.
I love your story and how it was told. Great buildup to the hilarious ending!
Hugs,
Rhonda

Awww, I'm glad you are able to share those memories.

Bet you make an amazing foster mom.

Awwwww, thank you so much!! I'd like to think I am, but she's the one taking care of me. Together we've lost her mother to jail, her 6 month old puppy who suddenly died, my mother-in-law who lived with us and was super close to Kylie, and, recently, our pastor. She's a trooper!!

I was sure that's what she was going to say.... Out of the mouths of babes! At the least the cop had a sense of humor... some don;t.
Thanks for sharing this story. Have a great day!

Morgan was so funny. She was an early talker and makes me laugh just thinking about her.

I was a lot like Morgan. I remember when a favored uncle was separated from his wife. I visited him with my father, who told me sternly not to ask about my aunt. So, guess what was the first thing I said!

How is my Aunt? Of course. It was really Grandpa's fault ... He taught her to say "I feel better" when she farted or burped. I swear she knew what "sex lights" were but she was only 3 and Grandma certainly didn't tell her.

My parents never taught me but I ended up with a beautiful daughter.Till the day they died, they never said a word about sex, and they had three children.
