Grandpa Bob's Shorties


Name: Grandpa Bob

           Patricia Parsons, of Arizona informs us: When our only daughter became a graduate nurse, my husband Norman was proud of her career choice. One day he even went to the hospital nursery and looked though the window as she tended the babies. Along side Norman stood a beaming new father. "That's my baby the nurse is changing now," he boasted. But even more emphatic was Norman's response, "And that's my baby changing yours!"

           Last December a Michigan grandmother brought home a pine-scented incense candle to give her home that holiday aroma she remembered when she was a child. Her three-year-old grandson Randy was visiting as she put the candle on a dish and lit it. She looked up and saw him with his fingers in his ears ­ waiting for an explosion.

           Here's something I remember from my younger days. I went to call on my friend Gary one morning to ask him to come out to play. I never forget his answer, "I have to practice my trombone for one-half hour, do the dishes and clean my room. So I'll be out in 15 minutes." Huh?

           When Grandpa Gerry retired last spring, he spent much of his time at home. But, now he's taken a new job driving a city bus, back on a full-day work schedule. His son asked his mother, "It must be a relief to get dad out of the house again." She replied, "You bet! I married the man for better or worse, but not for lunch!"
