Our grandkids do not live near us so it's a treat for me to visit them when I can. Because I don't know the routine I have Eli, who is 3, to keep me in the loop.
The last time I was visiting I told Noah and Eli that I would take them to the park, which is a block away.
Shannon got the OSU wagon out of the garage which had cup holders and seat belts in it. The boys climbed in making sure their seat belts were fastened.
I was just about to pick up the handle of the wagon and start walking when Eli informed me, "Gamma, I think you're forgetting something." I couldn't figure out what I could possible be forgetting so I asked, "What is Gamma forgetting?" With the cutest look on his sweet face Eli whispered, "Our drinks."

A Rope
by Kay Heitsch
My friend's 3 year old niece, Abby* was sitting on the back of a chair positioned in the corner of the room. For some reason she climbed down the back and was sitting on the floor behind the chair. Now Abby was in trouble as she couldn't get out.
Everyone in the room watched and listened to see what Abby was going to do. She was very quiet for a few minutes then all of a sudden Abby yelled, "Throw me a rope Chester!"

Summer Fun Money
by Kay Heitsch
It was getting close to summer so my husband, Bill, thought it would be nice to send our two little grandsons some "Summer Fun Money." I picked out a couple cute cards and Bill put a $5.00 and 5 $1.00's in each card.
The day the boys got the cards our daughter Shannon sent a video of them opening the cards. Both Noah, age 5 and Eli, age 3 were excited.
After the boys had the cards opened with the money Shannon asked Eli if he wanted to save some of his money in his piggy bank. Eli was quick to answer, "NO, I save it in my HAND!

The Bike
by Kay Heitsch
The rain was pouring down when I was about to leave Kroger. I decided I would wait to see if it slowed down. As I was at the door I started a conversation with another woman who was also waiting. For some reason we started talking about reading instructions and she told me this funny story.
One year at her grandchild's birthday she bought a bike that was still in the box. She mentioned she was alone at the time so she decided to put the bike together herself. After glancing at the instructions she put them back in the box because she knew she wouldn't need them. After all this looked like a piece of cake.
When she was finished she was very proud of herself until her son came over and looked at the bike. How she didn't notice this herself was anyone's guess, but she had actually put the handle bars on upside down.

Get On Up
by Kay Heitsch
Our son-in-law was on the porch swing with Noah our 5 year old grandson when Eli our 3 year old grandson came out to see what was going on. Joe suggested that Eli get up on the swing with his brother.
Eli, who is a card by the way responded, "Get up, get on up, get on the scene, I'm a dancing machine!"
I told Joe I think Eli just might be a Rapper. Pitbull better watch out! :)
We all know Eli can sing after his experience in the Children's Choir when they were singing "This Little Light Of Mine" and Eli was singing "Ba Ba Black Sheep!"

ER With Bea
by Kay Heitsch
We hadn't been home too long from a graduation party when the phone rang. It was Bea my 86 year old friend. "Hey Kay, what are you doing?" I was use to Bea asking this when she called so I didn't think much of it it. "Oh not much, why?" was my usual answer. Bea asked, "Well, I was wondering if you would take me to the Emergency Room something is in my eye. I just called there and they said no one waiting." I got my flip flops on and took off over to see what was up.

I was use to Bea asking this when she called so I didn't think much of it it. "Oh not much, why?" was my usual answer. Bea asked, "Well, I was wondering if you would take me to the Emergency Room something is in my eye. I just called there and they said no one waiting." I got my flip flops on and took off over to see what was up.
When I rounded the corner I noticed Bea had her car pulled out of the garage. "Hum, her eye couldn't be too bad if she could see well enough to get the car backed out." I got out of the car and walked in the house. Bea was ready to go. I said I'd drive my car, but Bea insisted we go in hers after all it was backed out already. :D
After arriving at the Emergency Room I dropped Bea off at the door and went to park the car. When I came in there were several people waiting to be seen. Why they told Bea no one was waiting was anyone's guess. After Bea gave the girls her information we sat down.
It wasn't too long and Bea was up at the desk and wondering what was taking so long. I'm not sure what the girls told her but she would come back and sit down for 15 or 20 minutes then she was back up. This went on for about two hours when she barked, "Okay that's it! We're leaving!! Go and get the car!" I went out and brought the car to the door, only to be met by Bea telling me the girl told her she was the next person to go back to a room. I went back out and parked the car again.
We sat for maybe 45 more minutes, Bea threatening to leave every few minutes, when we were finally taken back to a room. Now the real fun began. Bea thought for sure someone would be in pronto, but as we all know that is not the case in the ER. Bea wouldn't stay in the room so when a person came in to get more information I had to go hunt her down. She was mad as a hornet that this girl wanted the same information she had already given at the front desk. Bea made a few comments about the poor service and the girl left.
Now Bea was out in the hall again trying to get someone to get the show on the road. She was cracking me up coming back in telling me the girls told they didn't want her walking all around. I told her we were going to be kicked out if she didn't stay put. :) I heard Bea say she was going to be deducting her waiting time and mine from her bill. LOL!
Later rather than sooner a resident (doctor) came in. She did her thing then another doctor came in and he checked Bea's eye. He gave her some RX for the eye. Since it was midnight by now the nurse said they would get the drops from the pharmacy in the hospital. It wasn't too long and the RX was there. I had to laugh when the nurse said she had never had the pharmacy fill an order so fast since she had been there. I bet someone told them to fill it ASAP to get us out of there.
When we were going home Bea told me NOT to answer my phone if I saw the call was from her. She said she didn't want to put me through another night like this. Bea is a hoot and a half.
