Where have all the young girls gone?

Question? What is small and loud when activated, has a dangerous weapon that spews toxic waste, is deceptively quiet and lovely when dormant, has control of everything around it when deployed, has the ability to cause feelings of fear, frustration, confusion, joy, anxiety, and love all within a few seconds of contact, and deliberately steals the hearts and minds of all who come near it? No, this not some alien devise, or terrorist plot. (I don't think anyway) It's Adysen my first granddaughter. What a great new addition to my life. She is perfect in every way. Now I know what other oldsters like me mean when they say, "we should have had the grandchildren first".

Ady has reminded me of my three daughters when they were babies. The oldest Heather had the cutest feet, which I took multiple pictures of. She cried a lot, and demanded a lot and we gave as much as we could. She was and is very intelligent and passionate, and as I remember we may have had about four good years or so before she became much smarter than her parents. She is a blessing. Holly was the quiet solid one. She was content with almost anything, and happy most of the time. She was and is kind and thoughtful. A person with a heart of gold, and a good dependable friend to all. Kinlee was just like her daughter Ady. She knew what she wanted and couldn't wait to get it. She was feisty and a bit whiny. She was and is a breath of fresh air in my world. She is an independent spirit who is capable of all she chooses to do and will do it to the best of her abilities.

Where have all the young girls gone? Oh, oh,! I know what it is, we are starting over with a new generation!
