Mari is a marvelous grandmother. For instance, Jao rarely comes to our home without there being a small toy, or gift of some kind, waiting for him: a puzzle, a paint set, some tiny characters, or--recently--a way to mix colored drinks for us all."You like mixing colors and chemicals, don't you?", she asked Jao. "Is that what you would want to be when you grow up: a chemist?"
"No," Jao replied. "A dinosaur."
Sometimes grandparenting feels like that, too.
