grandpa

i am so thankful that nana and grandpa live close enough to see them at least a couple times a month. i think grandparents do something really good in kids--i think you can tell that something is special about kids who have spent significant time with their grandparents.

the daycare teachers spend all day with about a dozen toddlers, so they try all kinds of things to keep them in line. well, after a particularly difficult day, one teacher, miss hafizah, told mosey quietly that she was going to call up Grandpa and tell him that Moses wasn't listening.

well, she said moses's eyes got real big, and he said, "Ed?"

and she said, "yes, i'm going to have to call up Ed and tell him that you're not listening, Moses."

and moses's big eyes started to fill with tears, and crying, he told her, "no, don't call Ed."

he started listening right then, and he behaved the whole rest of the afternoon! she realized she had found the big guns. not to be wasted.
