They Will Be Sorry They Wronged Me

I will paint the most glorious dragon today. She will come to life upon her completion and She will take a name for herself. She will breathe fire on my enemies, and she will gnash Her yellow teeth and scare their pants off. My enemies will be sorry they ever wronged me! I will watch her take them by their feet, and throw them around Like dolls, into trees, and over houses, they will all be crying. Grandma! She interrupts me with her big blue trusting eyes. What about not hurting people? What about loving everybody? I stop and think, not coming up with anything. I know! She says, laughing and clapping. You will be a super Hero Grandma, and you will catch them all and give them hugs and stuff. I look into her eyes, knowing I am going to completely fold now. Yes, I agree. That is exactly what I will do. We both smile.

Delightful. A barrel of monkeys, no less---and much more, of course. ~ Gershon

Thank you. I always end up caught between a child and their knowledge that I am completely fibbing, which they always call me on. One time in front of a bunch of parents I said "I would not lie would I?" and six children behind me said "Yes, you would." The principal nearly died. And this was my first year at the school! I am so proud.

Thank you Eve. My grandchildren always catch me when I am going too far, and steer me right back to planet earth, and I am so GLAD they do. They know me as well as I know me.
