Excellent

A tiny four month old, swaddled up could realistically resemble a football... especially in a teens mind.

Then, a dog or a baby... both are babe magnets.
But that's just me from the outside looking in.

Good post, Barbara. Fun read.

Cheers,
John

He also used our yellow Labrador as a babe magnet, too. Especially when she was a puppy. LOL I'd forgotten about that. I need to share that story. Thank you for the kind review.

Cool. I'm glad I triggered another thought leafing to a story to share.

Very good stories about child rearing, Barb. I'm sure my wife has a few, also. You use the phrase, "it fell on death ears". This should be , "it fell on deaf ears".

Thank you for the catch. I'll fix it immediately. I'm sure your wife also has stories. I think all mothers do.

Greg was an enterprising young man. He knew there was always a way to exploit the situation. What a wonderfully written chapter. Best of luck with your writing! Have a great day, and God bless.
