Brian, ha, ha, ha, that was funnnneeeeee. Now I think that Grandchildren are a little bit of the alien species mixed in with some human for sure too. Their lingo is craziness, right from the get go, don't know why, don't care to know why, will never know why. Eeeks, those darn kids!!! So nice that they can be staying with you, but 5, eeeks!!! Now you are surely gonna be right straight out of your mind. Why are they staying with you? A holiday, not spring break yet, is it? Try living with them 20 feet from your house, hee, hee. I think sometimes they might as well move in here, they are here so much. And every Friday night, it is a given that they stay over, and sometimes it just carries onto Saturday. They would never go home if they didn't have to.
The come over in the morning for breakfast before school. They lump around in our bed watching TV, their Grandma co-totes to them hand in foot. Breakfast in bed, TV coming out their ears, lunches readied, a kick in the bum as they are going out the door to go to school, ooops, did I say that. Kids......
Actually, I am a blessed woman to have my Grandsons so close. For that I am ever so grateful. The other morning the youngest one (8 years old), as I was making him some breakfast and he was watching me, got very sentimental. He told me that he thought he was so lucky to have his Grandma living right beside him. He is my little softie, he is my sensitive child, his older Brother is too, they get that from my side of my family. We are a weepy crew, sensitive and loving. All I have to do is think about my family and my eyes get blurry, eeeks!!! Like right now. That makes it tough to type when I can't really see. Oh brother.......like JohnnyBigFish said, I bet shut up, or I'm gonna be bawling my eyes out in a minute, hee, hee. You know, I never meant to ramble here, I just can't help it.
When I saw the title of your post, I remembered this post and I remembered the weird stuff that you said about your understanding of the animals talking, it made me hurry to open the post and read some more. I knew it would have more weird stuff in it, and it did!!! Yeah!!! Good for you, take us to that wild side.....
Brian, aren't Grandchildren just the most wonderful little critters in this world. I can't say enough about how much different they are than raising our own. What a thing.....have the most beautiful and awesome day, loving our lives we live. Cindi
