When I was in Northland visiting Pauline, two of her grandchildren – The Twins - asked her whether she and I ‘were an item’. Not having any idea why they should have asked the question or what two pre-teens understood or meant by “an item” Pauline asked why they wanted to know. They replied that it would be nice because they wanted a grandpa. You just never can be sure what children are thinking or where they are coming from can you?

Yes. Children have a certain 'honesty' as Katherine's story also demonstates. I'm sure there are plenty more where they came from.
