Proud granddad moment

[ezaircon4jc]

We were taking our ~2 1/2 year old granddaughter to the zoo the other day. I went around a nice, sweeping 90º curve rather briskly, as is my m.o.. From the back seat I hear "Weeeeeeeeee!" I started chuckling and my wife says "Don't encourage him!" I was so proud of my little, little (her mother is my little) girl! The week before I did a similar thing and she said "Wow, dude!"

I understand this grandparent thing. I get to do all the things I couldn't do with my own kids since I was busy putting food on the table and keeping the roof over our heads. Shift work didn't help.

Nice… I’m jealous.

No grandkids for me.

Daughter doesn’t want kids and son is a confirmed bachelor.

But things can change and I will keep hoping.

You get to spoil them, feed them loads of sugar, then send them home with their parents to deal with the ramifications.
No direct grandkids, but plenty of grand-niece/nephews. First trick I teach them is to stick out their tongue!

My daughter's a bit miffed as when my g-daughter sticks her finger in her nose I ask if she's looking for treasure. So now when mom tells her to remove her finger from he nose she says she's looking for treasure! We've also taught her "snitches get stitches."

I'm going to get in soooooooooooooo much trouble!
