Sparky was about seven years old. He was watching his granddad take down the old calendar and put up a new one. Sparky said, "Grandpa, could I have that old calendar?"
My dad explained that there were some nice wildlife pictures on the old calendar, and that he thought he'd keep it as he might try to paint one of the animal pictures at some later time. Sparky said, "You know, if I was a grandfather and my grandson wanted to have that old calendar, I think I'd just let him have it."
Fast forward twenty years. Grandpa still has the calendar, and he hasn't as yet gotten around to painting any of the pictures. :wink:
