Puzzles

I never remember seeing a puzzle in my house when I was growing up. Never. Not once. Thus the world of puzzles is new to me. I find life puzzling enough without them (pardon the pun).

Ruth buys puzzles for 4-yr-old Lilly Ruth. They started out simple: 48 pieces, lots of colors. As time has passed, Ruth has bought more difficult puzzles: 100 pieces, fewer colors.

I'm going to have a nervous breakdown over these puzzles. My eyes hurt, my head aches, my self esteem plummets as a 4-yr-old works the puzzle faster than I do,

But I do have to admit it is a previous bonding activity. What's my most important advice? Always let your grandchild put in the last piece.
