Quarter

Had a great time with the kids and grandkids. Started Wednesday and the last ones leave tomorrow. I was greeted today with my new role as grandpa. After church we went to eat with some friends. We put several tables together, which generally means we will wait a long time to get food. It was a family oriented Mexican food restaurant. Lauren, age 2, noticed the little gum machines as we went in. We ordered and visited while we waited. At some point, Lauren decided it was time to make her move. She got down and walked to the end of the tables where I was sitting. She motioned that she wanted to sit in my lap, which I was happy to oblige. She leaned up, I thought to kiss my cheek. Instead, she whispered in my ear, "Grandpa, do you have a quarter?" Trey had given her a quarter but the machine she wanted cost 50 cents. Isn't it amazing what children learn on their own without the need for formal education?
