Never Too Old To Learn

I received a telephone call from a grandmother who had a pool fence installed at her home last week. She told me that she had been extremely resistant to putting up a pool fence, but her son told her that he wouldn’t bring the baby over to visit until a safety fence was put up around the pool. She’s crazy about her grandson so she reluctantly agreed to purchase a pool fence. She said she felt she just had to call me to tell me that she was so glad she did agree to buy the pool safety fence. She was amazed at how good it looked and even more importantly, she said she now realized how much peace of mind having the pool fence gave her. She was babysitting yesterday and the baby wanted to play outside. She said without the pool fence she could never have let him go outside, but now she felt safe and secure letting him play outside. She said ‘I guess we’re never too old to learn’.
