I’ve posted this picture before but it was hilarious all over again when Vince found it this morning.
It was two years ago when Addie was in kindergarten and they had Grandparents’ Day. We drove to MO from Texas, had breakfast at school with her. Then teacher handed out pictures the students had drawn to commemorate their grandparents.
I love that she spelled Granny “Grene”
I had to bite my lip to keep from cracking up. OK . . it didn’t work. I cracked up anyway. I’m on the let, then Nicole’s parents, and VInce. Three of us have our arms open with smiles. Vince, on the end, not so much. No open arms and a frown. Poor Vince . . she didn’t even write his name!
Kids tell it like they see it. Vince just doesn’t have the outgoing, get excited about grandkids, personality some of us have but at least he just packed everything we own and moved so we can be closer to the little artist! 🙂

Hi Judy
Just loved this, I had a brother who was like Vince so much so the children were overheard my many shouting out as they saw both grandfather’s walking up the drive, they turned to their friends and said here’s papa Jones (their mothers father) and Grumps! !! What is the saying out of the mouth of babe’s. Secretly he loved them calling him Grumps.

You can tell Vince I’m with him! “Vince just doesn’t have the outgoing, get excited about grandkids, personality some of us have”–that would be me. I love my grandchildren and I enjoy seeing them some but I don’t want to babysit, I don’t want to fly home at Christmas time to be with them, etc. Yep, I’m with Vince.

I feel sorry for Vince. I would think it hurts his feelings, even if he says otherwise.
Judy Laquidara says
I don’t think it hurts his feelings and I’m always telling him . . don’t be so grumpy! Smile more. Be nicer to people so . . I think if it hurt his feelings, he’d try to be more friendly. He isn’t a bad person – it’s just his personality.
Helen says
I don’t think he’s a bad person at all! Vince sounds like he would be fun to visit and be friends with. Again, wish we were closer geographically.
