Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

My Grandchildren Know Me Too

One time after an especially fun Grandma Cousin Camp Week
Where Grandpa was in hiding for 7 days, and 8 grandchildren and I did whatever
we please,
There was a bit of pouting
That it had to come to an end.
My oldest granddaughter, whom I will refer to as EM,
the wisest of the wise, because she is 4 years older
and terribly smart said,
"You know how you guys like to have a friend over?"
There was lots of nodding and yesing because we all love Em.
"Well, Grandma is having a friend over," she explained.
"It's GRANDMA!" 
They all got in the car
and waved good-bye,
Fully understanding
now.

Line Gauthier April 12, 2018 at 4:00 PM Wise before her years. Sounds a quite a holiday, Caren. Caren Krutsinger April 13, 2018 at 12:12 AM Oh, Line, you have no idea. We paint all over the garage doors. We carry every recliner into the yard. We tie-dye Joe's hair when he's asleep. It's a great big Auntie-Maime, Pippi Longstocking Peter Pan week!This is when I learned it's okay to stay up all night and play with children, and they will still pry your eyes open at 4 a.m. and you won't care! The driveway is full of chalk, and paint, glitter, pearls, and everything else when we are done.
