Today was “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.” I have neither a daughter nor a son, but plenty of my officemates do, so I was able to enjoy the event regardless. One of the first things I heard this morning was the joyful voice of a seven year-old telling me she liked to wash her hands because she liked to be healthy. We were both washing our hands in the restroom at the time.
Did I mention it was awkward?
At any rate, her granny, my co-worker, introduced us to each other, and we shook hands – after they’d been washed, of course. She then looked me up and down, then looked me straight in the eye and said, “You look beautiful.”
Did I mention it was also awesome?

I was in high school when a little girl told me the same thing and somehow I always remember it. They are so honest, so you know they are telling the truth!
