FIL used to tell the grands, if you don't stop crying I will give you something to cry about or sometimes he would open his hand and say ,cry me a hand full of tears. I hadn't thought of these in years. One of my Dads favorite saying that I remember was, They just haven't found their "nitch" in life yet but they will soon.
My kids enjoy talking about things that they remember having heard during their childhood from their Grand parents the "good old days" as they say.They were raised on a farm with their GP near by so they were with them alot and really miss having them around. All 4 of them live near the farm, 2 have homes on the farm.
