Last October I posted the 1st Edition of my version of “Kid’s say the darndest things” — Today, Miz Booshay at Quiet Life shared her “darndest” story…and asked readers to share theirs too.  I figured this was as good a time as any to do my 2nd Edition: On Sunday morning, March 8, 1992 our baby girl … Read More
