Monster Mash

Grandboy got in trouble when he and another boy were punching each other in the cafeteria. The story, as relayed by mamasan:


Other boy: Hey look, is that your mom over there?

Grandboy: [looks “over there”]

Other boy: [suckerpunch to the gut]

Grandboy: [retaliatory strike]

[punching continues for a bit, no one is hurt, but phone calls had to be made]


Actually I take responsibility for this. I’ve always told the grandboy to never be afraid of monsters, but to stand strong and take them down if needed. He’s definitively on my zombpacolypse team

Darkning

Grandboy: Gwumpa look, it’s lightning there

Me: Yep. What about the darkning?

Grandboy: The darkning? What’s the darkning?

Me: The opposite of lightning. It takes light out of the sky and removes noise from the air.

Grandboy: What?! That’s only make believe.

Me: Yes. I’ve never seen darkning.

Grandboy: You know what ELSE I never seen? A WHIRLPOOL. A GIANT WHIRLPOOL.

Me: Well, then maybe it’s make believe.

Grandboy: No, no gwumpa that’s REAL. I saw it on Minecraft.
