"So He Won't Get Sunburned, Mimi"

My 3 year old grand daughter Mia, (well, you all

know her by now), was playing in the backyard

one day and I was inside watching her through

the window. I looked out and saw her putting

sunscreen on Pounce, the cat. I opened the door

and asked her, "Mia, what are you doing? She

replied, "I'm putting sunscreen on Pounce so

that he doesn't get sunburned." "Oh," I replied,

"Well, that's enough now, O.K.?" "O.K. Mimi,"

she said.
