and she doesn't think it's gross..' Mark - age 6

unless you mean it. But if you mean it,

And the final one...
The winner was a four year old child
whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy
went into the old gentleman's yard,
climbed onto his lap, and just sat there..
When his Mother asked what he had said
to the neighbor, the little boy said,
'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Disclaimer: My laptop has a sticky keyboard and I have to write most sentences twice since, at times, letters and spaces do not show up. The spell-checker also does not catch missing letters if the letters spell a recognizable word. So, apologies for this until I get the laptop fixed...I really am a fairly good speller!! ~ jh
