Beautiful

I got some new makeup from Costco the other day (yep, I'm a really fashionable girl) in a package labeled "Natural Beauty." Ben's all about learning to read lately, so he asked me what it said and I told him.

At this point, I was getting ready for a meeting and said, "Am I getting beautiful?"

To which he replid, "No."

"Am I not beautiful because my hair is still crazy?" I asked, a bit wounded that I can't get a shout-out from even my four year old.

"Well, you're a little beautiful," he conceeded.

"Who is beautiful, Benny?" I asked.

Without hesitation he replied, "Grandma," in a very matter of fact voice.

"Which Grandma?" I asked, very interested in his view of the world.

"The one with no dogs," he responded, "she's beautiful."

He is a very good judge of beauty. Here's to beautiful Grandmas everywhere.

Oh what an awesome grandson I have. It is so interesting to me what our young ones think of beauty and then as we get older, how we change that picture of beauty. Ben can see a grandma who loves him a ton and he translates that to beauty. Ben, you are the best! (As our all my grandchildren).
