Enquiring Grandchildren Want To Know

Late afternoon:

Grandma: Curlymop, would you like some juice.

Curlymop: I want some.

Grandma goes to the kitchen and returns with juice for Curlymop and a glass of cold water for Grandma.

Grandma takes two swallows: Burp. Excuse me!

Curlymop: Gwamma, you boooped.

Grandma: Yes, excuse me Curlymop.

Grandma takes a couple more swigs: Burp. Burp. (Eyes open wide in surprise!) EXCUSE ME!

Curlymop: Gwamma, you booped again.

Curlymop runs across the room and pulls grandma’s cup down and peers intently into the clear liquid.

Curlymop: What? It’s only water?

6:00 a.m.

Grandpa has little fingers prying open his eyelids.

Buttercup: Grandpa.

Grandpa: Whaaa…whaaa…whaaaa. Oh Hi Buttercup.

Buttercup: Grandpa. Grandma is still asleep. Mommy is all *jumbled up. I have to crawl into bed with you. (*note: jumbled up with her pregnant pillow, we assume)

Grandpa: Okay then.

Buttercups crawl up on the bed to sit next to Grandpa. She begins chattering (which wakes grandma.)

Buttercup: Grandpa??

Grandpa: Yes Buttercup.

Buttercup: Your breath smells really bad.

Grandpa: Mmmmmmm.

Buttercup: Let me smell it again.

Grandpa: Okay.

Buttercup: (Leans in and takes a very deep nose sniff.)

Grandpa: (Waits in suspense.)

Buttercup: Pugh! Yup, it really stinks.

Moral of two stories: Grandparents can’t get away with anything.

Okay, I thought I left a comment, but I don't see it. I'm sorry if this is number 2 or 3. Your grandkids are adorable. Love the stories- and the equal opportunity anecdotes.

Too cute! I had my grandson today and I burped (is it a grandma thing?) and said excuse me, even though he's still a baby, and he giggled. :)

So funny! I remember when my kids were that way. Now the big kids are just sarcastic. (Sigh.)

If you are of the age to remember WAY BACK WHEN... it's this sort of reason the Art Linkletter Show "Kids say the Darnest things" was a hit LOL

Love the award you helped to create at ChrisB's.

Yesterday, I was suffering from "burperosis", as my grandson informed me.

Love these stories. Love little kids. Love you and ChrisB for the awesome award.

Hee hee - sounds like you have two budding detectives in your midst!

To Grandpa - just so you know, Funny Girl has informed me that my morning breath is stinky, too.

Yep, your post reminded me of when my Grandkids told me I stink. Of course I HAD been working all day as was quite sweaty. I just smiled and rubbed their noses in my armpits.

Grandkids love you no matter how many times you burp or how bad your breath smells. Isn't it great?

But wait, your supposed to be able to get away with anything! Everyone knows that grandparents are made of sunshine and that their morning breath smells like a rainbow. I mean, sheesh! ;)

Love those grandkids. When J-Man was a little over a year old he would come over to me when I was napping on the couch and snoring. He would say, "Paw Paw noise." and slap my on the cheek. I would wait for him to walk off and I would "snore" again. He would stop and walk back to me and slap my cheek again. We would do that four or five times and then I would grab him and growl into his neck. I miss that little man. He’s twelve, now, and has different endearments for me to love.

Oh that is so funny! Kind of like insisting everyone smell the rotten milk.

Kids are a hoot, aren't they?

Very cute. I will have to remember that moral when I am a grandparent. Kids can be brutally honest.

Toblerone is shaped like triangles lined up with the bottoms attached and comes in a long triangle box. It is chocolate, with bits of nougat mixed in. I am surprised you don't have it down there. It is very popular here (and expensive).

Well, I'm just wondering what they witnessed that you DIDN'T tell us about! :) We used to say "booped" for another bodily expelliation...ha!

Thanks for sharing the smiles (glad you woke up to "hear" the second one!).

It's nice you have this blog to share with them when they get older!

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
