Scene 1: Worcester Nanny is reading Granddaughter a story. Granddaughter is very interested in stories. She is wearing an indoor sunhat and happily sucking her fingers. She likes hats. Grandson is dressed in his mother's childhood nurse's outfit, made by his great-granny, who died in 1991. Meanwhile, I give Grandson a packet containing some birthday chocolate road signs from Auntie Daughter 2. This is foolish of me, since it's nearly lunch time. He is delighted.
Scene 2: Granddaughter, who is not daft, notices the chocolate road signs. She is very very interested in chocolate. Grandson, with permission from his mummy, takes a small bite of one of them. Granddaughter indicates her urgent desire for chocolate. Someone says, "Oh, give her a nibble." He hands over the entire road sign for her to take a bite. This shows his trusting nature but is not a wise thing to do.
Scene 3: She stuffs the entire road sign in her mouth. He is indignant. Someone says, "Never mind, you have another one." He selects this.
They weren't very hungry for their lunch. Oops. Still, our lessons in sharing have obviously worked, though he may be re-evaluating them in light of this experience.
One of Life's Little Lessons........
ReplyDeleteHi Pam. Just trying to nip in briefly to find the post where the talked about the length of Scotland but I am now, as ever, totally distracted by these gorgeous grandchildren! We had a week at the northern coast last week with my parents, and we all spent a significant amount of time with our nose to the patio doors and their uninterrupted view of the Scottish islands. so close and so clear that we could see the lines of the cliffs. So now I'm thinking about Hallowe'en half-term for a cliff hunt! Chocolate before lunch. You really are a grandparent now!
ReplyDeleteChocolate road signs? Did clever Auntie have them specially made?

ReplyDeleteNo, she bought them. Not sure where.
DeleteStrangely, the deli near my work has a jar of them on the counter. I'm often tempted to buy them for N, but they are a strangely adult-size chocolate for something presumably aimed at children. Perhaps there are lots of adult road-sign enthusiasts in Islington?
DeleteYou are the BEST Grandma. Ever! ;-D They're so darn cute - thank you for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteThat nurse's uniform brought back happy memories. I wore mine all the time. My mother swore that I pushed my little brother over on purpose so I could bring him in and tend to his injuries.
ReplyDeleteChocolate is made into some surprising shapes these days. As if we need encouragement to eat it! A place in NSW Australia makes 'adult' shapes.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are always darling, but especially in these get ups....I love the nurse outfit!
