bragging rights

so remember when you were a little kid

and when you got something you were excited about

or you did something really cool

you bragged about it to everyone

for-ev-er!

that's exactly how my GGp is

and GGm a litte bit too

GGp has been calling friends and catching up

and everytime he makes sure to mention

that i have moved in and

that i'm going to a college in town

and is such a big help

which really, i'm not

i help out but if i wasn't in school

i could help so much more

gas and glasses

car gas

not human gas

so we were taking my great grandparents to

the ophthalmologist yesterday and we needed gas

he asked my grama [who will be called DQ, for drama queen] to fill it up

and then asks for the receipt

when he see's that it was $35

he says

"$35! I won't use that all,

I'll be gone by then!"

and they say kids say the darnedest things

then at dinner last night

my great grampa [who we will call GGp, for Great Grandpa]

was telling my great grama [who we will call GGm, for Great Grama]

that the second set of lenses he had ordered couldn't not be canceled

because they had already been sent to the factory

i asked him why he would want to cancel them

and he said he wouldn't be around long enough to use them

it took all i had not to laugh
