Ears to you, ol’ chum

Grandboy (disembodied voice): HEY GRANDPA you can’t find me

Me (resisting the temptation to say, “because I’m not looking”): Are you under the table?

Grandboy (giggling): No

Me: Are you… (we go through a series of places where he’s not)

Grandboy: C’mon, grandpa, you have to actually GUESS.

Me: Are you inside Elvis (the dog)?

Grandboy: NO you wouldn’t hear me. His mouth is closed.

Me: But maybe you’re talking out of his EAR.

Grandboy: Ewwww that’s gross. But a pretty cool idea. (thinking) That’s actually pretty cool if it wasn’t so gross.
