Hello everyone!!
Today in the River Valley it’s going to be 70 degrees and sunshine, and I am so excited!
Y’all know I have three grandchildren who live with me — I call them the Three E’s. I love them dearly. The oldest graduated college in December with a computer science degree. He is sooo smart — and yes, I’m bragging — but… he lacks a little in the common sense department. Bless him.
He’s sweet and always trying to take care of his Nana. A while back, his brother had a bad cough that just wouldn’t go away, so I took him to the clinic and they sent us for an X-ray. Ethan, serious as can be, asked, “Nana, does Evan have tuberculosis?”
Now how in the world does Ethan even know what tuberculosis is?!
I told him, “No, your brother does not have tuberculosis!”
Another time, back when he was still in college, he was always flying by the seat of his pants trying to get to class on time. He grabbed a jacket out of the hall closet and headed out the door. When he got home, I looked at him and said, “Did you wear that to school today?”
He said, “Yep.”
Well… it was my jacket. A lady’s jacket. No buttons. Almost knee-length. Very obviously not his.
Grandkids will either keep you young or make you crazy!
One day Evan told me chess players burn calories just by using their brains. Then he said, “If you burned calories by talking, Nana, you’d be a twig.”
I had to admit… he wasn’t wrong.
My son is always getting on me about how I drive. Now, I don’t claim to be Mario Andretti, but I do like to drive a little fast. Before he got married, we were headed somewhere and I heard him mumbling in the passenger seat. I finally realized he was praying:
“Lord, please don’t let there be roads in Heaven.”
Apparently he thinks his mom would run somebody over!
Y’all also know about my little dog, Jr. I told my granddaughter Ella that since Jr. is my son, that makes him her uncle. She said, “Nana, that’s just weird. I’m just going to tell people he’s my cousin.”
So uncle is weird… but cousin isn’t? Kids are something else.
We have a good time at my house. If you’re ever bored, come on over and join the chaos.
Y’all have a great week and hug those loved ones and grands!
