From May 19, 2009

I sunburned my neck terriby on Sunday cleaning sod out of my front garden while my granddaughter watered my flowers. She is 4 and of course waters the blossom itself with her little watering can. Time is precious with her so I let her do exactly as she wants. At one point she was going to pour water on this silly upholstered floor level TV chair we had brought outside for her, and I thought I should exert some authority so I said, no don't do that. She looked into my face with consternation. "I have to QUEEN it, Gramma!" I could see it wasn't queen, what with the cat hair and all, so I caved in and let her queen it.

Update in August:  She loves to do dishes and I said, "Let's queen them."  Esther barked back at me, "Not QUEEN them, Gramma, we have to KEEN them!"
