A week or so ago we spent some time at Dave and Chassie’s new house to do a few “chores” while they were working. Dave came home first and we went with him to pick up Locke from pre-school. Locke seemed a little excited to see us and pretty much talked our ears off on the way home. During the day Claire had found a couple of his toys that had been packed away and he was super excited to see them when he got home.
After Dave and Chassie had calmed him down a bit and he had a chance to try out his new-found toys some, he decided that he wanted to watch TV — a show called Sam the Fireman, or something like that. (Apparently, he’s allowed to watch a little TV after pre-school assuming things a going well…)
Anyhow, Locke decided he’d had enough playing with the toys and was ready to watch some television. He got the remote and told Chassie that he wanted to watch “Sam.” Chassie said, “Grammy and Poppy are here, so let’s wait until they have to leave and then we can watch it.” With absolutely no hesitation, Locke said, “Bye Grammy, Bye Poppy!”
We took the hint and left — even the best Grammy and Poppy in the world can’t compete with Sam the Fireman….
