mmm thank you Grandad

A chat with Grandad

"Hi Grandad, I'm good, do you know what Grandad? I don't have any more chocolates, can you please buy me some more?" pause, I gather that she is listening to Grandad

"Grandad could you Pleeeease buy me a little cat, little cats are soooo cute?" pause, I gather she is listening to Grandad

"mummeeee it's Grandad, you can talk to him"

All I can hear when I pick up the phone is dad laughing, coughing, laughing as he tries to come to terms with the random phone conversation he has just had with Sophie.

I say "don't even think about buying her a cat, as if we need a bloody cat!"

In the back ground I hear "Mummeee why did you say to Grandad "as if we need a bloody cat"?" Do they ever miss a thing????

Anyway, Dad asked me to arrange a box of chocolates for Sophie as he is "Grandad with the chocolates". When the parcel arrives Sophie is sooooo excited and knows the parcel is for her as she can see the letter "S" (forget that my name also starts with "S") As she is opening it I tell her it is from Grandad and "I wonder what it is?", with absolute conviction she replies " I think it is a cat!"

Thank the lord there was no cat! and thankfully she was just as happy with the chocolates.

Thanks Grandad:)
