More Grandpa Bob Name: Grandpa Bob A female friend of mine, also a grandparent, remembers riding home in the car with her husband on a beautiful moonlit night several years ago. She was suddenly overcome by the romantic moment and remarked, "Before we were married we didn't sit this far apart." His quick straight answer surprised her. "Well dear," he said, "I didn't move." Tips on how to handle the first time you decide to hire a baby-sitter: Don't dress your baby daughter in her prettiest outfit, because it will be harder to leave her. Go out with other people, so your spouse will have someone to converse with while you're off making phone calls home. Put the phone number, of the place you will be at, in convenient locations for the sitter. Try next to the phone, on the refrigerator door, or on the bathroom mirror. Leave the baby history book handy, so if the kid does something cute the sitter can write it down. When in a restaurant, do not stare at the childrens portion section. The setting is Portland, Maine, about 8:00 in the evening... The phone rings and a little boy answers the phone, speaking very quietly. The person on the other end of the phone says "Is your Mommy home?" The little boy replies, "Yes." "May I speak to her please?" "No, she is busy", he responds quietly. "Is your Daddy home?" "Yes", he responds quietly. "May I speak to him please?" "No, he is busy", he responds quietly. "Is there another adult in the house?" "Yes, the Policemen are here", he responds quietly. "May I speak to one of them please?" "No, they are busy?", he responds quietly. "Is there anyone else in the house?" "Yes, the Firemen are here", he responds quietly. "May I speak to one of them please?" "No, they are busy", he responds quietly. "My goodness, the Policemen and the Firemen are all there and are all busy.    What are they doing?" "Looking for me!", he responds quietly.
