Out of the mouths of babes.........

My lovely young grand-daughter has some funny ideas about me. I am legally blind and have never held a driver's licence. 
Miss W is way too young(4) to understand about my lack of eyesight, and has never been able comprehend why I never drive a car. She asked my hubby a few weeks ago about it, and he told her that I have never had one. It must be weighing on her mind a bit.
Yesterday, she asked her mum something about my lack of car licence, and my daughter said I had never had one. 
Miss W piped up, "Nan must have been picked up by the cops, and they took it away from her." 
I, once again, tried to explain why I do not have one. It is more difficult for her, and others to understand, as my eye condition is such, the usual prescription lenses will never help. She will understand as she gets older. Her mum says she watches too much TV.
Ya gotta love 'em!
