"Geez....I go from the bed to the coffee pot to the computer. Day after day...Same old thing."
gosh, you sound just like me ;) I'm disabled, and right now, have only the future of looking forward to fullfilling my role as a grandma, someday!
My granddaughter, Jamie Lynn is 12 now.
When she was three, she put me in "time out". I wanted to build with legos. She wanted to play doll house.
Suddenly, she said: "That's it. You're going to time out". She swooped the blankets off a bench. "Sit there. 5 minutes"
Then she sat by my side. We sat silently. Then I asked: "Is my time up"? "No!"......I asked again..."No!"
Then I saw her problem and covered my face so she wouldn't see me laughing. SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TELL TIME!!!
Finally, after asking her several more times, she said: "Go, just go. I don't care what you do".
Her younger brother (9)seems to love the story even more than she does. I think in his mind, he thinks "Man, my sister was a little jerk but she had balls to go up against Grandma".
