"When I was young..". It always tickles us to hear Gracie say this. Just now, my wife dug out some of her old toys and clothing from the storeroom. Gracie immediately pounce on them. She took a tiny little pillow and placed it on her bed. Then, she took a couple of toy and settled down to mismantle them. She told my mother who was reading the newspaper nearby,"When I was young, this was my plaything!" She is all of two years and eight months. Kids do say the darnest things.
I often think back to the time when she was born. My first thought was that she is very wet with clumps of dark matter all over. The doctor handed a snip to me and asked me to cut the umbilical cord. I duly did so and the nurse whisked Gracie away. I guess I was not vey well prepared for the whole affair. I had a camera and a video recorder with me but I did not take any picture of that moment. I took a few photo later as I was getting acquainted with my new baby. You can see in the photo here, Gracie just minutes after she was born. Thinking back to when I was young, I often wished I can remember more of life.
