Papa Tomgirl

While baby-sitting my six-year-old granddaughter, she asks... "Do you want to play "Barbie", Papa" How could I refuse such an invitation, after all, ... There's a first for everything!

Whoa! Funny + clever. Charles, you take a child endearing request + make it poetry. Grand form! I'm sure that your grand daughter appreciated your pleasing play. Be well. Cheers, Brian

You made her dreams come true that night how cute. She must love you alot. The innocence of a child makes them even mote endearing and adorable- did you have pretend tea and cake? hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

wonder how many hours, Grandparents have chalked up playing with Barbies and drinking pretend tea from tiny tea-set cups. You have created a memory for her that she will never forget Charles. You brought back some of my memories, thank you.
