Little, minor things

Do other people get a thrill when random incidents indicate that their young children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren are paying attention in school and to the world around them?

 

The last time Lexi was here, I was working on this project. I told her it is a shawl for her Grammy (my daughter, Carmen), who wants it  to be six feet long. She looked at it a minute, and said,

"That looks like about twelve inches."

"Yes, I think you're right."

"And twelve inches is one foot, so you need to knit about five feet more.

"That's right!"
