I was out walking with my 4-year-old Grand daughter. She picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and asked her not to do that.

'Why?' my Granddaughter asked.

'Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs,' I replied.

At this point, my Granddaughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, 'Grandma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.'

I was thinking quickly. 'All Grandmas know this stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma,' I answered. We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.

'Oh.....I get it!' she beamed. 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa.'

'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.

When you're finished laughing, send this to another Grandma!!

The phone rang. I knew it was the school but they wouldn't talk to me. I knew what was going to happen. They would call the Kiddo's dad, he'd call me and I would have to go get her. I was fuming.. she has been good for so long. She stayed home last night and wasn't with her mother.. what on earth did she do to get kicked out of school?

I knew he'd call so I started to put my braces on.. well.. one. Before I could get done the phone rang and I was ready to tell him I'd go get her but waited politely to hear what she'd done wrong.. he even sounded upset. It was.. lice. Lice? My head has been itching the past few days. So has hers. I chalked it up to dry scalp because even my skin gets dry in this cold and itches.

In the meantime I lost the second leg brace. Joy.. poor child is at at school and itching and I can't find my shoes. The nurse did not call her mother.. she knew my son was upset and I figured that might be why. The mother, (this could be my imagination.) would suddenly take her from him because of lice.

It seems it has more to do with knowing how much this puts us out. Cleaning and combing her hair. Washing sheets on two beds.. in case I have it too but nobody can see anything. My son has always had dandruff so I couldn't tell if he had to worry about his kids. So while he was here he cut it almost all the way off. Then he has to go home to his house and do this all over there. Plus hope his roommate has tolerance for this.

It seems that he isn't concerned about the mother. As far as he knows, and timing suggests this to be very possible, she could have gotten them from her mother. She and her friends, if they get some crack skin problem they won't even know it.

Pause for a moment while I pick my jaw up off the ground. Oh, not like this is the first I've heard it suggested this was a possibility.. and keep in mind.. this is not something I have first hand knowledge of but I asked him why he lets her take the Kiddo if he suspects that

"Mom, you know from the last time, I have to have proof. All I have to do is refuse to let her see her and she'll come take her." I started to object but he knows me too well.. or we've walked down this path before. She only needs to get someone, anyone, to let her say she's living there. Or maybe even have the intention of trying to let her stay there. Yes, this happened last time only it was her other grandmother that bailed the mother out.. and the mother got to keep the Kiddo. I can't imagine having my hands so tied as his are right now.

But, I had to call him back... the Rid comes with a tube of gel for your hair. I left the room for a minute and came back and she's putting "lotion" on her hands and feet.. my husband was on the phone with me and heard only.. "HEY, that's not lotion!" He couldn't hear her say.. "But Grandma my hands are so soft!"

Lice or not.. tantrums and troubles.. I adore her.

There are no rules. Take off my words and use your own words. There is a link under Diversions.. or you can copy and paste from mine. Just have fun with it.

1. Take :: It or Leave It!
2. 350 :: Degrees in a preheated oven. Huh?
3. Stand :: Still!! Quit moving so I can brush your hair!
4. Raspberry :: Jelly
5. Turnstile :: I need to go on a diet
6. Infomercial :: Time to sleep!
7. Dejected :: Sad.
8. What’s the word? :: It's right there on the tip of my tongue.
9. Awestruck :: Antonio Banderas
10. Smashed :: Kiddo's Mother

Seems to me if you feel an overwhelming need to correct someone's spelling or more likely a typo that was missed, you MIGHT wish to check your own spelling?? I don't know but.. that was just a thought I had.

This was copy and pasted from the comment section of a news article. I made no changes to it. I just felt compelled to share it for the chuckles.

Can we maybe knock out that ground hog and wake him up tonight?

My husband said he went to Home Depot in the short walk to get staples and back to the check out there must be 30 people with Steelers shirts on. This does not include the parking lot, another stop he made or those he passed on the street..
