Discovering the world--bit by bit

[DFW]

Back in the USA, my 1½ year old grandson triumphantly finds out where apples come from.
We ain't raisin' no Conrad Cornelius O'Donald O'Dells in MY family, no siree!

1. Cute kid. And what a nice yard/orchard?...

for him to explore.

[DFW]

2. My daughter didn't even say where it was

But she didn't say that she and her husband had any big excursions planned for the weekend, so it probably wasn't more than an hour or two from New York.

The rest of us were over here in Germany for my wife's mom's 95th birthday. I don't think I've seen that many different kinds of cake in a New York City deli bakery section.

5. The Big Apple for you, the little apple for your grandson. A cutie.

6. Fortunately, my wife's allotment of cuteness genes made up for my lack of them

This is our younger daughter with our two future heartbreaker granddaughters:

3. Awww, he's adorable! Looks like he's having fun!

And I can remember going apple picking in the fall with my parents here in northern New York. My Dad lost it at my Polish grandmother (mother's mother) since she'd tuck some into her sweater instead of adding them to the official bag!

4. Orange is the new black.

Couldn't resist, I tried. What a toe head.

7. It's hard to guess what he'll turn out to be

He's usually pretty good-natured, but as sturdily built as a Sumo wrestler. Picking him up is only advised after getting written permission from an orthopedist.

8. Only meant that from a fashon perspective.

I should just refrain unless sure. He is my doppelganger and I was called a toe head all my life. Until recently when my hair has taken on a more silvery tint.

9. He is sooooo cute. I wish for your sake and your wife's that your kids and grandkids

were closer, but I'm sure you do lots of video chats.

10. Be careful with that- do ya think apples grow on trees?

Very cute kid.

[DFW]

11. Of course not

I know as well as the next guy that apples are a by-product of cement production

12. Well, some are from horses. nt
