Today was my granddaughter’s fourth birthday. Her Mom had mentioned her wanting a guitar, so I dutifully went out and found a kid’s model with flower stickers on it, that seemed to befit a four-year-old girl. She opened it first, and squealed with delight “A GUITAR! This is the bestest birtday present EVER!” She was literally amped from then on.
I was of course, delighted that she was so happy- she spent a good part of the rest of the afternoon with it slung on her neck, singing happy four year old songs here and there.
God, it’s fun sometimes to be a grandparent.
