I learned that when the grandson says ‘choochoocar’ he means, ‘train engine’ but when he says ‘peepeecar’ he means ‘crayon”

Language is a funny thing

O dear, I believe I’ve taught my grandson the primary rule of gov’t budgeting… Instead of using less, find reasons to get more.

We’ve taught him to wipe off the crayon marks he puts on the fridge. He uses a spray bottle of water. These are special easy clean crayons.

He likes cleaning so much that now he’s marking everything so he can use the bottle.

We’ve had a talk about that and now he knows it’s ok to clean just for the fun of it, without having to use the crayons as part of the process
