We house sat and watched over the grandkids earlier this summer, two oldest boys teenagers and two younger grrls tweeners. At bedtime I purposely made a dramatic effort of tucking the boys in and offered to tell them a bedtime story, much to massive eye rolls. It went something like this: Once upon a time a guy asked a grrl he loved to marry him and she said, “No!” So the guy rode motorcycles and played golf with his friends and drank beer and whiskey and played video games and left the toilet seat up and had tons of money in the bank and lived happily ever after. The End! Then I just said, “Goodnight” and walked out of their room. As I walked down the hall, it took a moment or two, they got the joke and they started laughing. I yelled back, “Go to sleep!” which caused them to laugh even more. Never thought I would be “that” grandpa but here I am, killing it! Tru story!
