I “cross back over” with my little grandkids every chance I get. Here is today’s grandkid story:
“Well, so it was just me and Crazy Horse Anna, who is 3, going on 4, at Braum’s. She confidently placed her order for pink ice cream.
As the guy was dishing us up I told her to go find a place for us to sit. So she did, without hesitation.
When I turned around with our order she stood up on the booth seat and started waving her arms wildly to make sure I didn’t miss her which, I couldn’t, even if I wanted to, because she was right in front of me, like maybe 20 feet in front of me.
She instructed me to sit next to her in the booth, not across from her, so I did.
So we sat and talked about ice cream and things.
Then she picked up the pepper shaker and said something I couldn’t understand.
Then she picked up the salt shaker and said something I STILL couldn’t understand.
They must have come to some understanding,however, because suddenly Crazy Horse was telling me I needed to move because she needed to get out.
“Why? Where are you going?”
“To a different ‘pot,” she said,
“Why??”
She said something I couldn’t understand.
So I picked up our ice cream and everything and followed her to our new ‘pot.
We sat and talked about ice cream and things.
Then she picked up the pepper shaker at our new ‘pot, and said something, which I couldn’t understand, then picked up the salt shaker and said something I couldn’t understand, and I was like, “Uh oh!”
Sure enough. We had been given instructions by the salt and pepper shakers at our new ‘pot to move yet again.
However, I said ’“No! I like this ‘pot and I never want to leave!”
So we sat and talked about what it would be like living at a table in Braums, instead of a house with our own beds, and then it was time to go.”
A three year old tells you it’s time to change tables, you change tables! You just don’t know what is at stake. All I can figure is the salt and pepper shakers looked like microphones…or something. So she was getting instructions. I don’t know! I just “cross back over” when I can.
