Have You Seen My Beautiful Granddaughter? (Chapter 4,128)
It borders upon idolatry, although I don't think I've crossed the line just yet. This concerns shameless fawning over one's granddaughter. We went to the park this morning. I had this grand idea of she and I wading ankle-deep in a little meandering stream. However, the minute her toes hit the icy water, a concerted protest ensued. So we dried off our footsies and enjoyed other things. There were other kids, moms, and nannies roaming the parkgrounds. We all shared the requisite "Your kid sure is cute!". Of course, I knew it to be most true about mine. I sat at the picnic table and listened to moms explain how hard was their jobs. And I replied, "I wouldn't take your job for $100,000." I lied. Skylar tried to play with a particularly chunky kid. He unceremoniously popped her in the forehead, and dashed along. She settled upon a slide, and all was well.
Here's some pictures from the day. Perhaps you can see my smile reflected from behind the camera. Did I tell you I'm her grandfather?

Yesterday at the fish tank, I saw a mother that accidentally bumped her kid (maybe 2 years old) on the forehead with the camera bag.
And you could see it developing...
It took him a good 15 seconds but then the wailing started and it took another 5 minutes to shut him up. That span of time between the recognition of the bumping sensation with the realization that he could use this situation to get a stuffed animal from the gift shop.
I wonder who is more proud - Kurt Maddox as proud papa or you as proud grandpa?

You'd be a mom for $100,000? Would that cover the cost of a sex change completely? ;-)

It would be quite difficult to surpass Maddox in the "doting over my kids" department. But I will do my best. Many will make the same confession- I feel I'm a better grandfather than father.

Seems I remember a story about a country doctor in Bozeman, Montana who will do the "procedure" for a lot less than 100 grand. A snip here, a tuck there, and next thing you know...
