Max and the Fire

Pyromaniac me decided to build a fire. My older grandchildren were all for it. Helping me drag limbs. My four and a half year old grandson Max ran in to "tell on me". He was really mad, and semi sure that Grandpa would stop me. Ah, little boy, I guess you did not get the memo. I can do what I want here. Grandpa thought it was hilarious. He had to stop Max from dialing the phone to call the fire department. Max kept yelling "Call 911! Call the fire department." Great bonding experience for him and grandpa, who was Thrilled to keep him safe, on his knee, eating crackers, Talking about how crazy grandma is.

Haha, this is wonderful Caren. Max sounds delightful, if a little cautious, bless him! Sounds like grandpa and Max have a rather special bond as they sat together ensuring you did not burn the place down, Haha. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

He is darling, and Grandpa was THRILLED to get "my boy" away from me for awhile. Usually Max only wants me, and will not even let his Mommy talk to me. Once he gets here, we are a duo, and he wants it no other way.
