Meet The Grandson

Congratulate me! I am the proud grandmother of ED (Evil Device).




Don't let his sleek, cheerful exterior fool you. This little 10 digit bundle of connection is nothing but a 24/7 distraction. It's funny how a person can send and receive thousands of text messages from peers, but never seems to get the one text message mom sends. Well, I have adopted ED as my grandson. He now resides with me at night. He also spends his evenings with me while the boy gets his homework done. While in grandmother's care, ED is learning better language, balance and boundaries, and good sleeping habits. ED's dad, the boy, is also learning stuff, like Spanish because ED will not pass from grandma's hand to the boy's hand until his Spanish homework is done, better sleeping habits, and a whole slew of things, like the benefits of uninterrupted conversation. Who knew that parenting in the 21st century would involve the need for parents to babysit electronics?

Go Figure



While watching commercials the other night (it's so nice that the powers that be slip some programming in for us to view in between the commercials), the trailer for the new Three Stooges Movie came on. This is the brief conversation that happened after we viewed the ridiculous trailer.

Me: "I just cannot believe that The Three Stooges was made into a movie!"

Husband: "I just cannot believe it took so long!"

Go figure...
