Fair's Fair

I taught my kids to teach their kids
be equal, less complication
don't call me Gramps, heaven forbids
that's called age discrimination.

Sotto Poet Date: 8/17/2021 5:33:00 PM I adore that, William; it's exactly what I'm attempting to teach my grandchildren, to be equal regardless of age.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/17/2021 4:24:00 PM Hello William, so if your grandchildren don't call you grampa, what name do they call you? just wondering. Aloha!! Darlene Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 8/18/2021 6:59:00 AM Hello William, it does not bother me you being wordy. i do not mind it a bit. I am also young looking. Frist born. many people think my sister is older. i do not mind a bit. Do you like to be called jeep? Enjoy the moment of being a Jeeps. Aloha! Hilo Poet Date: 8/17/2021 4:51:00 PM Being young-looking, strangers passing have looks of surprise when my grandkids/great-grandkids, call me gramps, grandpa, great-grandpa, and so on. Our family clown, who is my second oldest son told them to call me, "Gps", pronounced as, "Jeeps". GPS is also a locater that helps people find places easier. Sorry for being wordy, Darlene, blessings from Gps, Aloha!
