Borrowing A Child

I had the most fabulous older couple come to my Sign and Sing class with a beautiful 18 month old girl! I, of course, thought they were her grandparents as many grandparents bring their grandchildren to Kindermusik. I said to the little girl "You brought Grandma and Grandpa with you!" With bright smiles and cheery voices they exclaimed "We are her neighbors!" They explained that they didn't have any grandchildren and being eager to share in a child's life, they borrowed their little neighbor to come to Kindermusik! How wonderfrul. It reminded me that I should be more open about wanting to borrow children for fun events since I have none of my own (certainly not by choice)! They participated very eagerly signing and singing and dancing!!!
