My dad was a strict disciplinarian. Earl Jr. and I could get away with nothing, though we tried with much determination. But as a grandfather to my daughter, he turned into a completely different creature. I could not so much as raise my voice a little to correct her when around him without his fussing at me for speaking too harshly to her. Unbelievable. I can still see him carrying her around the grove, when she was first learning to talk, and getting her to say to the folks at the family reunion, "I'm Pappa's boy!" Just to aggravate me who was trying to teach her basic concepts like colors, numbers, animal sounds, and the fact she was a girl. Best regards to each and every one of you Great Indulgers who soften the sometimes too exacting expectations of well-meaning parents, WW Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Happy Granny and Grandpappy Day #79990 09/09/2002 8:30 AM Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,692 UK dxb Pooh-Bah dxb Pooh-Bah Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,692 UK Grandparents' day? I don't believe the card sellers in the UK have caught on to that one yet. No doubt its just a matter of time before they do. Still, at least I shall be on the receiving rather than the spending end of the equation for once! dxb.
