Guess this will be the week for auntie #1 to call son #1 and tell him that if he can say Toyota, DisneyWorld and Ford 150, mom will buy him one of each.Long story and will let VW tell you this one. Gotcha vw....
I’m going to give you the short story.
Part 1: Just last week her husband breaks his wrist. She is telling this to me on the phone and I, stupidly, empathize with her husband first. He is a programmer (I use to be one). Having a broken wrist really SUCKS as it prohibits you from getting work done in a timely manner. Ooops. I wasn’t thinking about the fact that it would impact her life as well. She already takes care of 2 of her young grandchildren and now she will have to take care of her husband as well. She did say she refuses to do bathroom duty for him… she will not shake it nor will she wipe it. GRIN. (Can't understand why since he also broke a finger on the other hand - something about falling trees). But I didn’t catch myself in time to sympathize with her… so she is going to make that phone call and here is why ->
Part 2: Many months ago when we were trying to get #1 Son to say ANY word or set of words, she sat with him and tried to get him to talk. They were looking through a toy magazine. She told him that if he would say the name of the toy, Mom would buy it for him. (Not very likely as it was one of the ‘expensive’ magazines they send to every parent). But they had fun and he tried to talk for her.
Now my son understands words even if he can’t necessarily say them all, so if she makes that call… I'm.in.big.trouble. Some days it just doesn’t pay to answer the phone. ;-)
