Are you ready for this ...

 There was a soft  knock at the door, when answered; the little voice said ''Journee''.   In comes my little princess that said  ''I love you granny'', with big hugs and kisses. I was very much delighted to see her, running through the house like a mad man . She grabbed as many gifts as she could from underneath the tree, luckily all of them were left for her.

Tearing paper rapidly and opening every box, she came to me with a big smile on her face and said ''granny do you want to play with me?''. I grabbed her up and spent her around and then replied ''You know your granny is tired sweetie , after all the cooking and entertaining of my guests , don't you think your granny is tired?''. Journee responded ''No!''. 
It took all I had not to laugh aloud for her mother was sitting on the couch laughing at her little one terrorizing the house.

 It's always a pleasure to watch children opening their gifts during birthdays and Christmas celebrations . The glee in their eyes and the curiousness of what lie behind the wrapped box makes one remember how wonderful it were be a kid, from this little precious life that gives you so much joy and happiness.

 Suddenly there was quietness in the house , you could hear a pin drop. When Journee ran from the bathroom with my wig on.  I could have fallen right there on the spot. I said " No she didn't as her mother, Josselyn screamed out in laughter and fell back on the couch with tears streaming from her eyes . Journee did a native dance which no one had ever done before as I described it , still we were laughing about her putting on my wig.

Strutting  through the house with hands on her hips , just shaking and moving body parts. Dropping to the floor,twisting and turning  and not one time did that wig fell off .I even started calling her Tina Turner and sang aloud  What's Love got to do with  It,  as Journee continued to dance and parade through the premise. I never witnessed anything like this before . I don't know what to say about these children today. ''It seem like they have been here before."    

Journee stated " Can I keep your wig granny ?" I replied  "No, you can't keep my wig'', as she ran out the front door  screaming ''mine , mine , you can't have it''. My neighbors came outside to see what all the shouting was about as this child from Hell standing there with my twisted wig on , hands on her hips , swaying back and forth as to dare me to catch her and take the wig. I said " Get yourself in this house right now before I call your mother."

 She replied " Okay granny, but mommy lets me wear her wigs too"  Once inside, she took off the wig and handed it to me and said,''I want to spend the night with you granny , your the best, now can I have your wig . I replied  "No! you cannot, but know your granny loves you a whole lot. When you turn your granny's age then you can have my wig. She smiled and said " you will be old then. I can just take all of them ". I just shook my head...
