rings and characteristics
I don't know my life without the Hofland family and for that, I am so grateful. I wouldn't want a life without them, all of them. Including their mom and dad.
The other day, Delsie and I walked over to their house for my Hofland fix. As usual, they hopped on and we went for a "ride". Grant was sitting on my lap on this particular adventure. He noticed my hand that adorn a couple of sterling silver rings and the following conversation occurred:
Grant: Did a boy give you those rings?
Me: No. I bought them for me.
Grant: Well, I like them. They're cool.
Me: Thanks.
At this point I allowed for silence as I could feel his wheels spinning.
Grant: Will you ever get married?
Me: I'm not sure. Do you think I will?
Grant: Yea. But if you do, he better have your characteristics.
Me: What would those be?
And with that, the conversation ended. Grant was more interested in a soccer ball.
Some time later we were talking about something else that made me laugh. Without missing a beat Grant looked over at me and said, "Now THAT would be a characteristic."
And who said kids aren't wise?
You're right Grant, He better make me laugh.
