MarcM Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Mya includes her Baba and Dada in her prayers every night. She never met them (at least not here) but she recognizes them in pictures. A weird thing happened when Mya was about 2 1/2. We put her down for a nap and closed her door. We heard laughing, so we went back to her room to tell her to go to sleep. Before we opened the door, we heard her say, "Baba, I'm trying to sleep!" Mariko and I stopped dead in our tracks and backed away from the door. We went back into our room and just looked at each other with big, stupid grins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I miss my grandma. She was so dang cool. She never seemed to worry about anything and was always telling the best jokes. She'd sit with us and have a few beers while we talked the night away. She acted like a teenager sometimes. I think of her always and she watches over me because I have a picture of her in my room. I know she's having a beer with me today on my birthday! Heck, she'll probably drink me under the table! Love you gramma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Marc, kids have the ability to see what most adults cannot... spirits. From what I've read/heard, it's to do with the openness of their minds, they're able to perceive things that adults have learned to shut out. Same with animals... if you ever see a cat or dog, or any animal, looking at nothing, or maybe chasing around at nothing, it's probably a spirit they can see that you can't. And that, sports fans, is Shawna's Ghost Lesson 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Are you calling me a fairy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Fairly close , but it all depends on how one defines a leprechaun, doesn't it ...?! The point was , regardless of an Irish renaissance , Gaelic is a dead language and as useful today ( unless you have a field in mind ) as Japanese is.

The Seeker Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Well, if fairy is the only other option,I think I prefer short and rich and all that As for Gaelic... I know, I don't disagree with that... you won't get anywhere with Gaelic. I;m surprised though that you compare it to Japanese.
