Some Things Can’t Be Done Improperly

Ok, so it’s very important to brush your teeth before licking your loved ones’ faces…

It’s important to teach the grandboy some etiquette




A rose, by any other name…

Grandboy (shouting excitedly): Gwumpa hey momma’s taking us to the NEWSEUM now!!!

Me: Newseum?

Grandboy: Yah the NEWSEUM where they have dinosaur BONES and all the FOSSILS and all kinda old things

Me: Well then why is it called a NEWseum if it has old things? Shouldn’t it be called an OLDseum instead?

Grandboy (rolling his eyes): GWUMPA that’s just how it’s called, I dunno WHY it’s called like that




Breakfast of… well, it’s a noisy day in the neighbourhood

Mamasan wishes me the best of luck today… Ice cream, sugary cereal and pudding breakfast for the grandboy.

She’s escaping to work shortly so she’ll miss the fun




Foot Loops

Grandboy (to the abbreviated tune of “Footloose”): Fruit Loops, Fruit Loops, everybody want, everybody want, everybody want fruit loops…!


One of these days we’ll have movie night and then the dancing shall begin




Words can kill

Grandboy (coming in to cuddle with me on my temporary cot bed**): Wow Gwumpa this sure is smaller than your real bed.

Me (snoozily): Yep.

Grandboy: But it’s very CUTE

Me: Yep. Here I scooted over for you.

Grandboy (climbing over every one of my body parts): There’s no room for momma to cuddle on here.

Me: Nope, just room for us two.

Grandboy: YAH if momma tries to cuddle on here she fall off and BREAK the GROUND

Me: Shhh not too loud boy


** I’ve boxes still on the”real” bed since drywall repair is still underway. Good thing I like camping, haha




Barnum and Bailey never had it so good

Ah! My monkeys and my circus are back in town for a spell. Will be posting Gwumpa Stories again shortly :p
