What Grandparents Do

[poliphilo]

Odi and Peter came to lunch. I threw a macaroni cheese together. Even before I got serious about my cooking I had perfected the art of  the cheese sauce.

This was the first time we'd seen them since Odi returned home. Ailz  told them they need to talk to one another. I took Fabrizio's disgusting push chair outside and scrubbed it with soap and water and a hard-bristled brush. This is what grandparents do.

Then I sang to him. I'd like him to grow up knowing all the old nursery rhymes and counting songs. They're the key to the culture.

well no doubt you are right
but it tasted ok. I was young then
and then found ,what I would still hold,
that beer helps wash stuff down

The young will mostly eat anything- especially if there's beer.
