How a Girl Can Get a Boy's Attention

"Opa, what's the best way for a girl to let a boy know that she likes him?"

"Oh, that's easy. First she should find out where he is and go there. Then she should make a few rounds so that he can see her. Very soon he will think, "Oh, there is that beautiful girl! I must ask her to go to the dance with me!"

"Is that how Oma got your attention?"

"Oh, yes!"

Opa being normal...

On Father's Day, Opa was in great spirits. He was also a little tipsy. So he gleefully went along with my niece when she suggested he play a little dress up. 

 
 
When she asked Opa if he had any advice for her, he said, "Yes, you should always be normal!"
 
Of course, we laughed because Opa wasn't exactly following his own advice that evening. But then he added, "By normal, I mean always be yourself. Never try to be someone you are not."

Sage advice as usual, Opa.
