You're not ugly Grampa!

[oneighty]

Grand daughter Rebecca now is four years old. She has decided to become my keeper. Upstairs where I spend most of my time she calls me ED when she remembers to. It is our little secret. "Hey Ed" she will say "Can I look at the pictures." The pictures go back a long way, sixty years or so. She says "Hey Ed can I" lots of times during the course of a day.

Last weekend she helped clean my spaces, scrubbing floors, dusting making up the bed in the spare room. Later looking at pictures she sees pictures of me when I was younger. I explain to her how I have grown old and wrinkled and that now I am just a ugly and tired old man.

Rebecca says "You not ugly Grampa."

I can't get my 3 1/2 yo to help clean up, and I have tried to make it a game and a dance number and just about every fool thing we parents can do. How did you do it?

4. Grampas are never ugly...

Your granddaughter is a smart cookie! :-)

Your story reminds me of a note I gave to my teacher when I was in 1st grade. I'd heard some of the kids joking about her size (not to her face, of course), and it made me feel sorry for her.

So I gave her a note that said,
"Dear Mrs. Cavanaugh, I don't think you're fat."
