Grandmother

If nothing is going well, call your grandmother.

~ Italian Proverb

Some notes from a summer visit to see Aurora and Ezra:

Aurora - in a tone both wise and annoyed, "Baby brother's still hiccuping."

Aurora - losing at a board game, "Aw NUTS! Are you kiddin'?!"

And then we watched some kid show. Here is the plot summary:

The main characters on the show made their grandma lift a piano to the upper level of their home through a window by pulling it up on a rope. The family then sent the grandma to the grocery store for ice cream, but didn't let her get the kind of ice cream she liked. They next sent her up to the roof to retrieve a kite that was stuck there. Finally, they sent her to the cellar to get a toy for one of the kids.

It's a big job being a grandma. Apparently, it's an even bigger job if you are a cartoon grandma on TV.
