De~Grammatize!

Well, it's happened.

My own daughter said it.

Oh, Yes, she did.

Beckie stated that she had to "DE-GRAMMAtize" Sarah after her sleep over at my house.

WHAT?

I remember uttering the same words to Dave when Beckie was little and would stay with Sweet Gertie!! Of course, I don't think I ever said those words to Gertie. It was something I said to Dave and we would just deal with the little monster that came home from Grammie's. Just some attitude, just some displeasure with not being able to get her way, just a little put off by having to come back home where she was expected to do a little more!! Oh my. I really didn't mind because I knew Beckie loved her Grandma so, so, so, much. I loved the little person she was when she was around her Grammie Gert. So I just chuckled to myself. Beckie went on to talk about that same attitude coming from her daughter. Ummm.... I know I really didn't do anything to make her behave that way ... or did I? Nope. I am sure the only thing I am guilty of, as was Grammie Gert, was being able to be a Grammie, to be a Meme. We have the luxury of doing NOTHING when the grandkids stay with us. We are free to do whatever, play whatever, and give them our complete and undivided attention. Moms are not always able to do that. I see that now. I understand now how this all works. So, forgive me Beckie, I cannot help myself. You will have to do what I did back when you were little. Grin and bear the day after, and, just know that someone loves your babies so much... Up to God, actually. I love you too Beckie!

P.S. Hope your having a good day with Molly....
