A grandmother was looking after her two little grandchildren, a 7-year-old girl, and a 5-year-old boy. Both of them had been really naughty. But as the time approached for their mother to pick them up, the little girl said to her grandmother, "Are you going to tell Mummy?"

                    Dr. Ruth Barbee, a well-known family-relations expert, once said that about 90 percent of so-called "naughtiness" in small children is simply their way of getting "noticed." When they cannot get the attention they want any other way, they do something guaranteed to drive their parents up the wall.

                    I was a guest at a wedding a couple of weeks ago at the Botanical Gardens here in town. It was a little buggy, but a very sweet and well done ceremony. At the close of the service, the pastor prayed a very touching prayer for the couple and ended his prayer saying.
