Today was my mother's 86th birthday. My daughter, husband and four kids came up for a visit. Visits are not real regular even though they only live an hour south of me. Both work such long hours. Their children are Haylee age 12, Jacob age 7, Greyson age 3, Roland age 2. Haylee has written with me in the past. Today I saw a new talent in the family. While eating lunch I looked at Greyson and asked him what he was eating. We had some fresh pineapple and he was chowing down on it. Suddenly he took two crackers and put a chunk of pineapple between them and said, "It's a fruit sandwich."
Here is the rest of the conversation.
Me: "A fruit sandwich?"
Greyson: "A floating fruit sandwich."
Me: "Oh a floating fruit sandwich." He suddenly lays it on the floor.
Greyson: "It crashed. A giant tiger with giant claws hit it and knocked it to the ground."
Me: "A giant tiger?" At this point the the floating fruit sandwich is once again floating.
Greyson: "A spaceship came down and lifted the floating fruit sandwich into the sky."
At this point there are two fingers on top of the top cracker. He looks at me and says. "See the tiger is on the floating fruit sandwich."
At this point one of the fingers starts tapping on the cracker and the floating fruit sandwich and the sandwich starts wavering. He says, "Oh no the tiger with the big claws is jumping up trying to hit the spaceship." The floating fruit sandwich slips back down to his plate. He picks it up and says. "The tiger with the giant claws fell off the floating fruit sandwich." He bit into the floating fruit sandwich and said, "See, the alien ate the floating fruit sandwich."
Our whole day was full of Greyson telling stories. He kept my mother laughing all day. He is only 3. I looked at my mom and said, "Can you imagine what it will be like when Greyson and Haylee decide to tell stories together?"
