found it. Drew is

Barbara and Harvey

Township are proud of

Elizabeth Denker, 7, of

putting by granddaughter
Noa to bed one night. She
noticed that I had loose
skin on my upper arms. She
said, 'Granny, what is that
on your arms?"' writes Barbara. "I told her that as I get
older and lose weight the extra skin has nowhere to go so
it just hangs from my arms. I went on to say that I plan to
take flying lessons, and I would use the extra skin for my
wings. That answer satisfied Noa and she went off to bed.
"The next morning as we waited for her camp bus I
noticed that Noa was studying me very carefully. Then she
said, 'Granny, do you know you have a wing under your
chin?"'
