Arguably, the most delightful girl in the world

Our bias is horrible but we stand by it with pride. What follows is a sequence of photographs in which we support the argument proposed in the title. As we are realists, we recognize that every grandparent has the best grandchild/ren in the world. Nevertheless, we are not in any competition. Rather, we thought we'd share something different from the usual mountain beauty.

The scene is set at the local La Jolla diving, or water jumping, competition. The favorite, odds are two-to-one, is Miss Ellie Lael Josephson. She is enthusiastic, four years old and carrying a little burden which is generally referred to as a tummy. She is also weighed down slightly by a pound or two on, as Jenny Josephson is wont to say, her delicious thighs. Other than that she is in superb condition. Her hair was brushed carefully and so she is ready.

She has practiced on and off this summer for the competition. In order to gain her fitness, she likes to go shopping, especially for shoes and always perfectly matched outfits. A purse or handbag is a fitting accessory, placed strategically at the poolside, for the return to the apartment. Finally, for energy she does enjoy mac(aroni) and cheese. A bowl of ice-cream provides the additional energy boost or that which turns the tummy into a floater.

We hope you are ready as the favorite and only contestant approaches the low diving board:


The contestant readies herself. As she prepares her posture, a little communication hitch between the brain and stomach arises. Perhaps, it's the mac and cheese, who knows?


The take-off. Notice the carefully shaved armpits...at least on one of the family members.



The contestant is about to hit the surface. Judge Jenni L has already awarded her the first prize.



After the competition, discussion focuses on, dare we say, 'love'.




Back in the apartment, a bath and rub-down for a tense competitor, 'The Cheeky Look'.

Cheers,

Jenni and Jeffrey
