Naked on the Beach

There is something precious about your youngest grandson playing naked in the Atlantic tide-pools on a warm Summer afternoon. He has not yet learned to be ashamed of his body. He is still too little to offend anyone with his nakedness. It helps if he is also cute and happy as he splashes his way into the future. As you walk behind him with his adoring mother at your side, you look at his chubby little buttocks and think there goes the future of this world.
