Hehe, my grandkids are too young yet to write anything, though I can hardly wait to see if and what they do write when it's time.

I was thinking of my own grandmother, who never hesitated to point out errors and help me correct them, who never ever felt obligated to say something was wonderful if it wasn't. And of my own mother, who has been inflicted with far more of my daughters' writing than I ever will be and who has graciously aided them with their poetry and stories without ever telling them something was fine if it needed work, even when they wanted her to. I suppose, though, that since one was a schoolteacher and the other a librarian that correcting and editing things comes naturally. Still, they felt no obligation because of their ancestral status to coo and smile over anything that didn't merit such treatment. :)
