Out of the Mouth of Babes

At a brunch get-together, one of the children there looked a lot like Linus of the cartoon Peanuts fame. Cute as he could be, thumb in mouth, 4-year-old Jonah was dragging around a well-worn blanket. I was getting better acquainted with his grandmother when he came up, stood directly in front of me and looked intently at me. I was surprised, as I thought he might be a bit insecure around people he didn’t know. “Well, hello,” I said. “What’s your name?” He replied, pointing to my face, “You have cream cheese right there.” No insecurity in this child!
