It worked EVERY TIME as she would begin her sweet chant whenever she perceived a moody little girl at her side. "Where's Good Debbie? Have you seen Good Debbie? I know she's here somewhere? I just saw her a minute ago. Do you know where she is?" Eventually, as she worked her magic, gently chiding her way into my heart and lifting my spirits, my frown would transform to a smile and I would start laughing with her. She would then embrace me tightly, exclaiming with obvious glee, "There she is! There's my Good Debbie! I knew she was there all along. It's so good to see you again!"Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397763848480255626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483060088523057956.post-16850439048398652632009-12-07T00:32:47.588-05:002009-12-07T00:32:47.588-05:00must go check out this book!!must go check out this book!!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537821831479150677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483060088523057956.post-22089782451184069462009-12-06T13:07:42.075-05:002009-12-06T13:07:42.075-05:00P.S.

So true that laughter can help them forget and is the best medicine. I know we would LOVE this book :)raising4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589032602889740091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483060088523057956.post-2513077623855500642009-12-06T13:04:19.144-05:002009-12-06T13:04:19.144-05:00You do such a great job spotlighting FT each week....You do such a great job spotlighting FT each week.
