As my young grandson was sitting on my knee, I noticed him staring really hard at my face. Soon after, when he was back at home, his mum phoned and could hardly speak, she was laughing so much. Apparently he had asked her, “Do ladies have beards? Because I think Nanny’s growing one.” I look extra hard in the mirror now!
