leave it to a child's innocence to put a true smile on your face....

On our local news there was a story about a dog that has cancer. My good friends, Jen's 5 year old, daughter asked her mommy what was wrong with the "puppy".. She proceeded to tell her that the dog was sick with cancer. And her daughter responded... Wow... puppies must look real funny without any fur... :-) Her mom puzzled by her response question why... and The 5 year old stated... We'll people loss their hair with cancer so the puppy is going to loss his fur...

She chuckled.. and went on to explain that cancer doesn't cause hair loss its the med. Doctor's give.....

I got a good chuckle about this... and hope you ladies get the same...

    I remember thinking that as a kid...
    I didn't know anyone personally as a child that had cancer, but I knew people that had cancer lost their hair. For the longest time, I remember being terrified that I might have cancer because I would lost hair in the shower or in my brush. Out of the mouth of babes, for sure! My 11 year old constantly says things throughout my journey that keep me focused. They have very innocent minds not corrupt by society. Gotta totally love it. Thanks for sharing such a cute story!
