Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I have a friend who babysits her granddaughter and had a health scare recently.  We talked on the phone last night and I could hear her pride that she identified the problem and her daughter and son-in-law took the toddler to the emergency room and all is well.  She wondered about what might have happened if someone less experienced or who had not witnessed that event had been in charge of her granddaughter.  We grandparents do have our uses.  We've been around the block a few times or rather in the emergency room.  I've taken my kids for:  stitches, stomach pumping, broken bones, a fall, and various other scary incidents.  I've toughened up and am no longer the mother who wrapped her son's head in a towel so his brains wouldn't spill out (the cut, from his little friend shoveling his head, turned out to be only a matter of stitches, no brains leaked!).  Her confidence reminded me that my experience is valuable and my diligence intense, because I KNOW accidents happen and kids need checking out and if something looks funny better see what's going on.  Yeah, grandmas!
