My daughter loved the song, "Puff the Magic Dragon", by Crosby, Stills and Nash...sigh...grandpa does as granddaughter does...I listened to that song in rewind way too many times. That and "On top of Spaghetti". I now hate both of those songs with a compassion.<BR/>Add in grandfather not being able to breath or drive without the window cracked, freezing, cold, swearing to whatever diety would listen to me...I would never, ever make this trip again.

The girls come home from our trip are want to spend their Christmas money (didn't you just get an ass load of toys that I'm now stepping on in the dark). Their mom and I wanted them to wait a while to spread things out some, but Oooooh no. Gaga, pipes up that she'll take them if we won't.<BR/><BR/>Their mom decides to tag along hoping to at least teach the girls how to budget money. Of course the first thing the girls start picking out are like 6 times more than what they have. That's when Gaga rides up on a saggy white horse to the rescue. "I'll cover that. What else do you want honey?" <BR/><BR/>And yes, the concept of "two." In PA if you can master it then you earn the right to remain or to leave the state of your volition. If you cannot, then you are required to stay and not embarrass the commonwealth.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11609041651482395857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014653608019418727.post-45510036589965396402009-01-15T21:03:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:03:00.000-05:00There's just something about being a grandparent t...There's just something about being a grandparent that makes people lose their fucking minds.
