Meanest Old Woman in Town!

[Spiky Bugger]

Evening of 3/22, not long before her shower time and bedtime, I call the home of my little buddy whose 8th birthday is 3/23, and ask to speak to her.

Kid: Hello?
Me: Hi, honey. I need to tell you something.
Kid: What?
Me: Well, I'm not going to be able to see you again until you're eight years old.
Kid (yelling/whining): Wait!!! What? Why?
Me: That's just the way things have worked out.
Kid: Yeah, well...(yelling) WHO DECIDED THIS?
Me: No one. It's just how it works.
Kid: (silence)
Me: So, when will you be eight years old?
Kid (voice changing to "wait just a minute" mode): Tomorrow.
Me: So, I'll see you tomorrow, then, okay? And you'll be much older!

She was laughing by then.

But I'm at a place where I can only trick second graders. Sad.



As you were.

one of the reasons I like dementia patients is I can usually out-think them. I would guess small children have a similar charm.

Laughing! You actually made the kid THINK!

You're my kind of Grandma(ish).

Happy birthday to the princess!
