The Entertainers

Having 5 grandchildren under the age of 3 is entertaining to say the least.  Three of them were born in 2010 and are still babies---all 4 months apart.  The other two little girls are 2 1/2.

Meron is the oldest but Audrey is the boss!  As the adults were finishing their meal at the Christmas gathering, the girls decided to entertain themselves.  Both dressed in fancy Christmas dresses, Audrey said to Meron, "You run and I'll chase you!"

So, Meron took off--round and round from kitchen, through dining room, through the living room--one big circle.  After running several circles, Meron would stop and wait for Audrey to catch up.  When Audrey got to her, Audrey would say..."You run and I'll chase you."  And off they would go again.

Once as Audrey was passing through the living room, Grandpa said, "Stop and go the other way and you'll catch Meron." 

Audrey turned around and went the other way.  Just as Grandpa predicted, there was Meron running toward her.  Audrey stopped and looked at Meron.  She was obviously confused.  She then simply said to Meron, "You run and I'll chase you." 

Off they went again having the time of their lives!  The object clearly was NOT to catch anyone.  The object was to run in Grandma's house!!!
