41Combedale We need to be sorry for kids growing up in that kind of environment, if they behave badly it is because their parents have not loved them enough to put them first and have not been a good example for them to follow.

41Combedale Your grandson is an interesting little fellow, I think he is going to keep you busy with his questions for many years yet. It is amazing how children can ask us questions that make us stop and think. Perhaps it is because their minds are not cluttered up in...
