Monday. Granddaughter’s playing “don’t touch the floor”.

In other words, she’s jumping from the bed to the cooler in the corner. 🙂

Grampa: Don’t do that. You’re gonna fall and get hurt.
GD: Ok grampa.

Tuesday. She’s jumping from the bed to the cooler in the corner.

Grampa: Don’t do that. I told you, you’re gonna fall and get hurt.
GD: Ok grampa.

Thursday. She’s jumping from the bed to the cooler in the corner.

Grampa: What have I told you? Don’t DO that. You’re gonna fall and get hurt.
GD: O-Kayyyyyy grampa!

The Granddaughter - Always on the Go!

Saturday. She’s jumping from the bed to the cooler in the corner. The cooler moves and she falls and hits her head on the wall.

The look on her face says, “yes, it hurts. I wanna cry. But I’m not gonna because it’ll just prove grampa right.”

Grampa: Come over here and lemme see.
GD: (goes over to grampa)
Grampa: You hurt your head?
GD: (in a whimpery voice) Yes grampa.
Grampa: You see why I’ve been telling you to not jump over there? I don’t want you to get hurt!
GD: I know grampa.
Grampa: Ok. So you’re gonna listen to me and you’re not going jump there anymore, right?
GD: Nooooo grampa… I’m not going to jump THERE anymore!

Grampa: Hiding Smile - Because that's what we do as parents




I have no idea what the next thing she’ll be jumping to is, but I know where’s there’s her will, there’s a way! 🙂

Take care,

  • Kid Corner – Wiffle Ball Bat Incident Leaves Permanent Scar

    ByGenXBrat

    I have a small scar underneath my eyebrow on my right toward the my nose. I got it when I was around six or seven years old.

    My neighbors on one side has two daughters and two sons. My neighbor on the other side had two boys, Kenny and Billy.

    Joy and I spent a lot of time hanging out and playing with Kenny and Billy and occasionally we would get in a fight with them too. One day, I got really mad at Kenny (I don’t remember why) but I remember chasing him over to his house and, when I got there, I picked up one of those big fat wiffleball bats, backed him up against the wall of his house, and hit him across his chest with it.
    Of course Kenny was around the same age, so it probably did hurt him. Even if it didn’t, I do know it made him mad. …

  • Christmas 2011

    This year was much better than last. We got the Christmas lights put up on the patio…gorgeous if I do say so myself!

    My son was healthy for the most part (coughing up a storm but we believe he’ll live… he’s gonna let me know if he feels that’s changing!).

    Z got to relax and seemed very content with the fact that I made chicken and real mashed potatoes on top of putting together a huge pot of Posole.

    And even though the day was quiet and none of us had bought any Christmas presents, it was a great day. …

  • My Family Tree

    ByGenXBrat

    My family tree… hmmmmm… ALWAYS an interesting discussion.

    I’ve been using Family Tree Maker Software to deal with my family tree since I was on Windows 3.1. I find that it’s easier to set up the technical, genealogy side of my life than actually explaining the “family vine” that I call my family.

    I only have to go as far as my parents and my grandparents before I start confusing people and making them wonder if I was born in the back woods of Alabama or Arkansas.

    And before all of you who were born in Alabama or Arkansas start e-mailing me and calling me and telling me that I’m prejudiced toward your state… I am NOT the one that started this stereotype. …

    Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep… Really!?!

    ByGenXBrat

    Good gosh! All those thoughts that start when you lay down to sleep for the night! You know the ones I’m talking about… the useless, good for nothing BUT keeping you awake thoughts that you just can’t get rid of… Like they couldn’t have come to mind while you were wandering through your day and awake anyway!?! Of course not!!

    To add insult to injury (and lack of beauty sleep), most of the time, they’re not even productive thoughts! Take for instance when I couldn’t get to sleep earlier this week. Was I thinking about world peace or how to change my life into the type of life I’ve dreamed of… of course not.

  • Do You Know Where Your Children Are Planking, Owling, Balling, Tea-Potting, Pillaring, or Toothpicking?

    ByGenXBrat

    This is hilarious so I just had to share since this entire blog will be covering many of the fads that have come and gone over the decades of my life.

    I just read a post by a friend and fellow marketer that listed many of the crazy things people are doing today, specifically planking, owling, balling, tea-potting, pillaring, and toothpicking. The only one that I was familiar with (and only due to the fact that my sweetheart loves YouTube) was planking, so I went to Google and looked the rest of them up.

    From what I can tell, it appears that all of the newest fads are stemming from people who heard about planking, and are making an attempt to “one up” the fad. …
