I'm green with envy. I *told* Ray we should have a pony and a
donkey
for
the grandchildren. ;-)
Is that a fair swop?
I think so. Have grandchild, willing to swap for pony and trap.
I don't believe you. Not for a millisecond.
Of course, the parents would have to agree.
Catch 'em after a bad night and you never know!
They have had bad nights ever since he was born. ATM I guess they'd take
the
pony and trap and get down to making another one.
Babies haven't read the books. My youngest grandchild went out like a
light
every night once her parents were persuaded to give her a tiny bit of solid
food, rather than just milk.
I knew a Polish woman who chewed sauerkraut and then fed it to her baby. I
don't
know if that is the norm in Poland.
I don't know about Poland specifically but it was the norm to chew food and
give it to babies, long before baby mush was invented in sterile jars!
but sauerkraut. Can you imagine the wind it causes?
Unhappily, yes! But if it's pre-chewed and thus partially digested, perhaps
it rids the sauerkraut of some of its more explosive properties. They
*must* have worked that out over the years or there would be generations of
agonised babies.
