You’ve gotta know by now that my gripes lately are about the weather. And today is no exception. On top of the weekend snow accumulation of somewhere between 8 and 10 inches in two separate storms, today it’s sleeting and/or freezing rain. It’s switched to all rain now, but with the temperature hovering near freezing, it’s making an icy, slushy mess of everything. Just had to go pick up the car at the garage (it wouldn’t start on Saturday so had to be towed), and I could only get it halfway up the driveway on the way home. (sigh)
But! Something that happened over the weekend is still giving me a smile. We visited our daughter and grandchildren on Saturday. When we got in the car to take them out to lunch, the two grandkids were arguing about who would sit next to whom at lunch.
Our daughter said, "Everyone will be nearby, so don't worry about it. You’ll be able to see everyone."
I added, "You'll be close enough to make faces at anyone you want."
There was a brief silence, and then my seven year old grandson said, "Why would I want to do that?"
I said, "Because you're a kid."
He retorted, "Yeah, but I have manners!"
That was good for quite a laugh.
