Questions For the Very Wise

Traveling back and forth to Columbia to visit my Dad is becoming a routine activity in my life. Try taking grandchildren with you and the drive becomes much more fun. GB has to watch for the llamas and "tell me when we are close so I can find them, too". We watch for deer, wild turkeys, wild birds(?), stunks(this is not a mispelling this is how all 3 pronounce skunk),cows, and horses to name a few. AND we answer endless questions. GB, should girls marry cousins or friends? GB, is so and so a good boy? Why are you planning on marrying him? NOOO, I am marrying Samuel. GB, are you a girl or a boy? GB, did you bring any snacks? Did you run over a stunk...I smell one that has been runned over? Are we going the right direction...the map says we should be going left? Look at that cloud does it look like a ...? I think my daughter feels I cannot drive safely anymore. (I made one mistake looking at something once while she was in the car with me and I think she feels I have gone senile.) As my grandchildren tell me "everybody makes mistakes sometimes". I know what very precious cargo I have with me and I pay very close attention when they are with me. Always be prepared to answer the unexpected, however. Grandchildren keep you on your toes.
