Wet Behind The Ears

This phrase is probably hundreds of years old and refers to someone being inexperienced and new to a task. Many animals are born totally wet and have small depressions behind their ears, which are the last areas to dry on newborns. By the time it does, the animal is presumably a little older and possibly wiser. It has been a pleasure watching our twin’s ears dry. Every day is a new learning experience, and they are excellent students. Each has been expanding his physical and mental skills rapidly, showing great enthusiasm and little fear. Already, they are calling us on each misspoken word and correcting our song lyrics. While Sandy and I are enjoying their seasoning, we hope the boys preserve their essence of innocence for a long, long time.
