THE ALPHABET SONG

Cold and flu season is upon us.

My Doctor said to wash my hands for 20 seconds to kill germs.

I was telling my daughter this one day a few years ago, when my grand daughter said.

Bama, 20 seconds is easy.

It is, I replied?

Yes, she said.

Just wash your hands to the alphabet song. My teacher said that that is long enough to kill germs.

Then she sang it.

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,LMNOP,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z

NOW I'VE SAID MY ABC'S....

NEXT TIME WON'T YOU SING WITH ME.

I thanked her and the next day...I timed it and it was exactly 20 seconds.

So now, when I wash my hands...I sing the alaphbet song. Mostly, to myself, I don't want the guy's with the straight jacket to come for me!

Smart teacher and smart grand daughter.

Thank you, Jordan.

GRANDPARENT'S DAY

Lauren ( 6 ) called me yesterday.

It was Grandparents day at her school. We live too far away to go and so she called me instead with a run down of the day.

There was only one other student in her class that didn't have a grandparent there. ( guilt, guilt).

The call went like this.

Hello, Bama, this is Lauren. Happy Grandparents Day!

Thank you Lauren, are you having a fun day?

I'm sorry that I couldn't be there like I was last year.

Me too, Bama.

Why don't you make an announcement to your class about how much your Grandmother loves you?

I'm not allowed to make announcements, Bama!

You could stand on your chair and shout. My Bama loves me!

Ohhh, Bama, I would get in so much trouble if I stood on my chair!

OK...it is just important that YOU know how much I love you and miss you.

I know, Bama. I love you too!

Ahhhh, Bama....Don't tell me to do things that could get me in trouble.

OK Lauren, I won't do that again.

Good, Bama because we need to listen and do what we are told.

OK Lauren, I'll remember.

Bye, sweetie!

Bye, Bama!

AHHHH, the reprimand of a 6 year old really cuts to the quick!

Michael

Michael  ( 8 ) called me not long ago to say that he had scored a goal in soccer.

It is nice to be a GrandMother.

All the good with None of the bad.

All the fun with none of the work!

All of the kisses just because....

Yes, Grand Mother is a good place to be and.....

I've earned the right to spoil my grand children and watch their parents faces.......

as I give them candy, money, laughter and a sugar high when they leave my house!

This is SOOOO fun!
