When picking dandelions for Grandmother what are children thinking?
Do little children have an agenda? Are they scheming? Perhaps a bribe for cookies and milk? Maybe a hug and smile?

4. my kitchen window
use to have glasses with dandelions in them

I wish I could get those days back when my kids were little

wth bright eyes , toothless grins

and a hand full of beautiful yellow flowers just for me

my grandchildren live to far far away

3. No way
They love them, so they figure Gramma will love them too. They give them just for the pleasure of making her happy.

Kids. :)

5. I remember doing that.
I thought they were pretty flowers just like any other. My mom never let on that they were weeds.

6. I've always said, God grows dandelions
for children. It's one flower they can pick for Mommy and Grandma without worrying about getting yelled at.
