I rush to throw them in the toilet, suddenly exhausted.
Okay…that was really gross! Guess I’ll look through the mail quickly before I go to bed. Wonder what’s in that big box that was waiting for me on the front porch…let’s just see…I’m sure it’s something for Marcus from his mommy or daddy. Probably some more designer clothes…after all, a 2-year old can’t have enough Sean John!
I am horrified at what I find inside the box; it’s filled with 100 – yes, I said 100 – colored plastic balls. It’s from my daughter. Has she lost her mind? 100 balls that I’m going to have to pick up every night?? I have a great idea; I laugh wickedly to myself as I plan to close the box back up, address it to her house and send it there when she gets back from Africa…that’ll teach her! He never even has to see these.
I’m tired…I’m going to bed…that box of balls was the proverbial “straw” that broke my back! I’m so tired in fact, that I squirt my contact lens solution on my toothbrush and start to brush my teeth with it. Yum…that tastes good! Luckily I realized it before I cleaned my contact lenses with toothpaste.
Oh well…just another day in the life of a grandmother.
“Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children.”
